Mr. Carlton Handy

Here are a few questions and answers from our principal...

1.How do you feel about the student behavior in the 2004-2005 school year? Northside students are very well-behaved. I am so proud of all of them. Fighting is almost nonexistent on our campus. The students have earned my trust and respect. They know that I love them and I want the best for them.

2. How have the past three years at Northside been for you? My 3 years have been the best of my 25 year career. I've learned so much about the parents and the students of the Northside community. They have warmly accepted me and I want to continue to earn their trust and respect.

3. How long have you been in the Educational field? This school year is my 25th year. I taught for 15 years and I have been an administrator for 10 years.
