Prep Cares
North Pointe's Community Outreach Program, Prep Cares, provides students, faculty, alumni and parents
the opportunity to shape the future, share with the less fortunate and support those with health challenges.
Throughout the school year, the Prep mentors elementary students through workshop presentations,
athletic and art clinics and 4A Days (special all day events focused on academics, athletics, arts and
activities). During the holidays, the Prep provides assistance to the hurting and less fortunate donating
thousands of dollars in food, toys and supplies. The highlight of the Prep's year long activities to support
those with health challenges is the annual Care-A-Thon where students raise money for various charities.

Activity Descriptions
There are some in our society who believe school should be an
intense place of only academic learning. At North Pointe, we agree
with the intensity part, but we do not limit the learning to just
academics. We believe a student is only fully prepared for college
after they have been involved in a broad range of rich school
experiences, not just learned information communicated in a book.
Our culture openly acknowledges that our passion for excellence in
athletics and the arts, along with our zeal in providing experiences
where life-long relationships and memories can be created, is equal
to our commitment to academic achievement. It's a culture anchored
in the core belief that a motivated student, who wants to be here, will
learn!
