The
Pride Foundation began its work with the very successful
restoration of the gymnasium in 2000 supported by state
funding private donations, and the active involvement
of parent, alumni, and students.
Because
the campus was built 30 years ago, postponed additions
and deferred maintenance have left Northgate with inadequate
facilities to support and expand its growing programs
in performing arts, physical education, and athletics.
Since
its founding in 1999, The Northgate Community Pride Foundation
(NCPF) has been working hard to fulfill its mission of
improving and enhancing the facilities at Northgate High
School.
NCPF
leaders have implemented a comprehensive survey of Mt.
Diablo Unified School District and Northgate High School
administrators, Parent-Faculty Association members and
students to identify facility improvement needs and priorities.
The
findings of the survey were used to develop a Master
Plan for campus improvements which began with the
restoration of the gymnasium. This project was successfully
completed in the summer of 2000 thanks to state funding,
private donations and the active involvement of parents
and students.
