Merry Christmas from Channel 22!
Please scroll down for three new posts. We have posted the news from December 18th, a tribute to recently retired Athletic Director Mr. Smith, and the NHS version of the Gap commercials. We are on 'hiatus' until February 2010, when the spring season 5 students will take over Channel 22!
NHS Version of the GAP Commercial
This is the Northside version of the GAP commercials that we are all fans of! Special thanks to the GAP store, Jacksonville Mall, who lent many of the clothes featured here. Thanks to Adrian, Melanie, Tina, Show Choir, cheerleaders, and everyone else who helped!
Mr. Smith Tribute
Mr. Mike Smith worked tirelessly at Northside High School from the time the school opened in 2001 until his retirement in September of 2009. This is a small tribute to Mr. Smith and a recognition of his many contributions to Northside. Edited by Adrian Scott.
Thank you Mr. Smith. We miss you!
