Northside High School is a high school in Warner Robins, Georgia, United States. Located at 926 Green Street on the northern side of Warner Robins, it was built in 1963 and enrolls approximately 1960 students.
Northside's mascot is the eagle. Its official colors are blue and white, though orange is also commonly used.
Northside High School originally opened in 1963 as the second high school to be built in Warner Robins, after Warner Robins High School.
Many cosmetic changes were implemented starting in 2001. At the end of the 2004-2005 school year, the school began renovation projects to increase the size of the school. Northside was last renovated during 2005 and 2006. This most recent renovation included a new commons area, an expanded lobby, a bigger cafeteria which connects the Vocational Building with the main building, an expansion of the Technology lab and the band room, and a new gymnasium. Construction ended during the 2007-2008 school year.
In 2002, Tabor Middle School became Tabor Academy at Northside, a 9th grade-only school which introduces 9th grade students to the high school atmosphere.
The school sponsors athletic teams, including girls' and boys' basketball, baseball, cheerleading, cross country, volleyball, track, wrestling, soccer, tennis, swimming, golf, softball, and football.
In 1998 Northside Eagle ladies' track team won state in the 100 meters.
The Northside Eagles football team have had winning seasons for 22 consecutive years; they are 146-15 from 1998 to the present. Northside had 17 consecutive seasons with 10 or more wins from 1998-2014.
From 1998 to 2005, the school had five teams go 10-0 in the regular season but falter in the playoffs. In 2006 and 2007, the school broke through with consecutive 15-0 finishes in Class 4-A, and won two state championships.
In 2009 the Eagles had wins against Lowndes (#1 in the state, #4 in the nation), Valdosta, and Newnan (#2 in the state, #10 in the nation) in the semi-finals, leading the way for the Eagles to contest for the 5A state championship in 2009, which they lost against Camden County (December 12) at the Georgia Dome (31-3). Northside was moved back down to 4-A due to lack of enough students to remain in the 5-A classification.
Northside won the 5A Georgia State Football Championship in 2014. This brought their total number of state titles to three, with three state runner-up titles.
Since 1999, Northside has had nine semi-final appearances and six final appearances in the play-offs, making it to the second round or higher every year, except 2010.
