North Springs High School

We are so proud of North Springs graduate, Daniel Jackson, who won the 2026 Dick Howser Trophy as the nation's top Division I baseball player.

"Jackson, the 2026 Southeastern Conference (SEC) Player of the Year and Triple Crown winner, is one of just three players (and first catcher) in NCAA Division I history to have at least 30 home runs and 25 stolen bases in a season."

It's so exciting to see one of our own graduates achieve this success! Congratulations to Daniel!

Congratulations to Graham Swerdlin, Ryan Houston, and Caleb Holloman on earning invitations to the Georgia Dugout Club’s Top 100 Summer Showcase, where they’ll have the opportunity to showcase their talents in front of college scouts.

Go Spartans!

Congratulations to Diahann Fulwider for winning the Zone 4 Partnership Champion Award from Fulton County Schools! We're proud that you are a Spartan!

North Springs honored and celebrated our athletes at the recent All Sports Banquet. At the event, we also bestow three special awards:

The Leonidas Award is named for the King of Sparta, who was known for his heroism. We award this honor to an athlete who, like Leonidas, showed leadership, courage, perseverance, dedication, and discipline. This year’s recipient is Justin Buchanan.

The Gorgo Award is named for the Queen of Sparta, who embodied duty and bravery. Queen Gorgo’s legacy is marked by her role as an influential figure in Spartan society. She, like the athlete awarded this honor, demonstrated the strength and wisdom expected of Spartan women. This year’s recipient is Leila Madesko.

Our Spartan Heart Award is given to a Spartan who has overcome obstacles and demonstrated remarkable resilience and determination, overcoming challenges to achieve success. This year’s recipient is Kate Lott.

Congratulations to these and all of the athletes honored! Go Spartans!

North Springs Freshmen Win National Poetry Contest, Earn Spots in Historic MLK Jr. Rose Garden

The Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park and Preservation District and International World Peace Rose Gardens selected two North Springs High School Freshman Academy students as winners in their prestigious Inspirational Messages of Peace Contest. The winners were chosen from 4330 student entries nationwide.

Congratulations to Escarlett Lopez-Adame, who won for her poem, “The World Dream” and Sharon Omorodion, who was selected for her poem, “Living Waters of Peace.”

North Springs was the only high school with overall winners. There are now three North Springs students recognized with plaques in the Rose Garden in the last two years. Principal Hanson noted, "I have amazing teachers who are helping talented students raise their powerful voices!"

North Springs' Freshman Academy also boasts six honorable mentions in this contest:
Audrielle Halliburton for her poem, “Calm Words”
Lincoln Wright for his poem, “Neverending Peace”
Serenity R. Jackson for her poem, “Fine Lines”
Ashley Vega-Aguirre for her poem, “This is America”
Antonio Ezell for his poem, “Peacefully Declaring Peace”
Shelby Gibbons-McCrory for her poem, “Peace is the Future”

Students and their families attended the award ceremony at Ebenezer Baptist Church and had their pictures taken in the rose garden. Escarlett and Sharon each read their poems from the Ebenezer Baptist Church pulpit. In addition, their poetry will be engraved on and permanently displayed on plaques in the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park Rose Garden in Atlanta.

We're so proud of these members of our Freshman Academy for these impressive recognitions and wins. Thanks to Mrs. Kelly Olson, AP Human Geography teacher, who led the initiative for North Springs 9th-grade academy students to participate in this contest.
