History

North Point High School for Science, Technology and Industry
Opened in 2005

North Point received its name because it is a focal point located in the northern area of Charles County for students countywide and also serves as a community facility. In addition to pulling students from its attendance zone, students from around the county who are accepted in the career and technology program will attend North Point as well. The Science, Technology and Industry program offers training, technical knowledge, preparation for post-secondary education, and the development of employability skills through academic instruction and practical work experiences. Students may receive college credit after successfully completing some of the courses offered. The program was formally called the Career and Technology Education Program and was located where the current Stethem Educational Center is now.
