North Point High School is a school for career and technology education (formerly science, technology, and industry). It is located in the far western area of Waldorf, Maryland, United States. At 311,000 square feet (28,900 m²) and with about 2,000 students enrolled, it is the largest high school in Charles County. It is also the second newest high school, having opened in 2005. Its mascot, the Eagle, was derived from the motto of Charles County, "The wild side of the Potomac... Where eagles soar!"

Unlike most other high schools, which have all seven class periods per day, North Point (along with St. Charles high school in nearby St. Charles, Maryland) operates on a unique four-block A/B day schedule (1A, 2A, 3A, 4A on A days and 1B, 2B, 3B and 4B on B days), A days and B days occur every other day of the week, which allows for longer 1 hour and 20 minute class periods, rather than the standard 50 minute period in other schools.

At the start of the week, it would either be an A day or B day, depending on what day the previous Friday was (example: If Friday was a B day, Monday would be an A day). Classes begin at 8:05 a.m. and end at 2:50 p.m. every day.^[2]
