News & Announcements

When you read about the history of Northern Light, one thing clearly stands out above the rest: this community develops students who are engaged and empowered – not just as students, but as citizens!

Play ball! Our friend and legendary MLB pitcher, Vida Blue, sits down on The Vida Blue Field of Dreams to discuss his legacy on and off the field. He was known for being the hardest-throwing lefty and first African-American pitcher to start an All-Star game, but what’s even more inspiring than his career is his generosity and desire to give back.

Do you or anyone you know have a car, boat, or RV (running or not) that isn’t being used? Donate it to Cars 2nd Chance to raise money for Northern Light and the greater community!

Northern Light School is excited to announce our Holiday Donation Drive in partnership with Homie’s Empowerment, an Oakland based youth and community development organization, serving over 400 families in the Bay Area and giving out over $20K in food every week!

Please join Cornell C. Maier, CEO Kaiser Aluminum (Retired) and the Northern Light School community for the First Annual Ann Maier Giving Tree Lighting Ceremony and Holiday Celebration!

Our good friend Vida Blue just launched his official Indiegogo Campaign, "Step Up to the Plate for Northern Light School"!

In Morning Circle, we celebrated peace in honor of International Peace Day.

We celebrated Northern Light School's 31st birthday with a very special Morning Circle featuring some very special alumni, a cameo from Mr. Maier, and an appearance from Vida Blue!
