Background
The high school has been open since 1975. Westerville North's colors are cardinal and gold and its mascot is a representation of a classic Roman "warrior." Students follow a moral code known as "The Warrior Way" which focuses on respecting each other, their parents, their school and their community. There are many traditions that are part of the school including, Seniors painting "The Rock", walking around the Warrior logo in the front lobby for good luck, being highlighted for outstanding art, sports or lifetime accomplishments, or painting a mural to highlight a club or extra-curricular activity.
The high school is one of three in the Westerville school district and each team plays the others in a local rival game atmosphere annually.
