North Side High School is one of the five public high schools in the city of Jackson, Tennessee (the others being South Side High School, Jackson Central-Merry Early College High School, Liberty Technology Magnet High School, Madison Academic Magnet High School). Within the state, the school is commonly known as Jackson North Side.
In 1943, what is now called the South Building was completed and North Side was formed with the consolidation of Huntersville, Pope, Fairview, Browns Church, and Spring Creek schools. In 1972, the football stadium was completed. East High consolidated with North Side in 1970, and Beech Bluff in 1977. In 1992, Jackson City and Madison County school systems were combined. In that year, the Tech Prep Center (middle building) was completed, and the following year the Fine Arts Building was completed.
The school mascot is the Indian. The school colors are blue and gold. The stadium is also known as "The Reservation", it is dedicated and named after long time North Side coach, T.D. Reynolds.
