Davenport North High School is a public high school built in the northern area of Davenport, Iowa. North High School was established in 1985 in the building that was formerly Wood Junior High.
In the fall of 1994, ninth graders were added to the school as part of a district-wide reconfiguration of elementary, intermediate, and high schools. In January 1997, a new gymnasium was completed along with a "Classroom of the Future" and an Iowa Communications Network room. In 2001, a new cafeteria and auditorium were completed. A new locker and weight room were added in 2008 to accommodate visiting sports teams.
Athletics
Davenport North participates in the Mississippi Athletic Conference, and athletic teams are known as the Wildcats. School colors are blue and gold.
The school fields athletic teams in 18 sports, including:
- Summer: Baseball Softball
- Fall: Football, girls' volleyball, girls' swimming, boys' cross country, girls' cross country, and boys' golf.
- Volleyball (2-time State Champions - 1988, 1997)[2]
- Winter: Boys' basketball, girls' basketball, wrestling, boys' swimming, and boys' and girls' bowling.
- Boys' Bowling (2-time Class 2A State Champions - 2011, 2013)[3]
- Spring: Boys' track and field, girls' track and field, boys' soccer, girls' soccer, girls' golf, boys' tennis, and girls' tennis.
Davenport North is classified as a 4A school, which contains Iowa's 48 largest schools, according to the Iowa High School Athletic Association and Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union; in sports where there are fewer divisions, the Wildcats are always in the largest class (e.g., Class 3A for wrestling, boys soccer, and Class 2A for golf, tennis and girls soccer). The school is a member of the 10-team Mississippi Athletic Conference, which comprises schools from the Iowa Quad Cities along with Burlington, Clinton, and Muscatine high schools.
