Council Rock High School North is a high school located in Newtown, Pennsylvania. It is a part of the Council Rock School District. The school is located across from Newtown Middle School and Tyler State Park, and near Bucks County Community College. The current student population is 1,588 for grades 9–12.[3]
The school is three stories tall and is divided into an East wing and a West wing. Until 2006, there was no direct connection between the third floors on each wing, so students and staff had to use hallways on the first or second floor to cross between wings.
When originally constructed, the school was the only high school in the district and was known simply as "Council Rock High School". As the local population continued to grow, a new high school, Council Rock High School South, was built in Holland, Pennsylvania, which opened in the fall of 2002, and "North" was added to the original school's name. When the new school was opened, middle schools were re-districted with Holland Middle School students attending Council Rock South and Newtown Middle School and the now closed Richboro Middle School students attending Council Rock North.
The school colors are navy blue, white, and silver, and the school sports teams are known as the Council Rock Indians. After the split in 2002, silver was given to North and gold given to South to distinguish them while still maintaining the two traditional colors of the original high school.
The school and the school district are named for Council Rock, also known as Indian Rock, a rock outcropping that forms a cliff in Tyler State Park.[citation needed] This rock was once a council rock for Lenape Indians living in the area.[citation needed]
