Thank you Sinjin, your article was very well written and I agree with you.  I have 3 North Eugene graduates Class of 2004, 2007 and 2014, as well as U of O and George Fox University (Mechanical Nuclear Engineer) graduates. My Youngest is in her 2nd year as a junior at PLU,  she took AP classes at North- 33 college credits to go into college as a sophomore.  They all had very good experiences at North Eugene, academics and sports. There are great teachers at North who truly want their students to succeed in college and in life beyond college. All 3 of my children were well prepared for college and it is thanks to North teachers, staff and coaches. 
I agree with you that North Eugene High school has gotten a negative reputation, it's sad and is simply not true, North Eugene Is a Great school with some great teachers who really care for their students.
Also ... Yes, my husband and I were VERY involved with our children at North and their education!
