Every day in the halls, classrooms, gyms, and pool of NPHS, remarkable things happen. Many events do get highlighted on the Morning show or even right here in the Knight Crier, but no one can possibly stay up to date on all the accomplishments that North Penn achieves. So at the conclusion of every marking period, we will be looking back on all the reasons why we love North Penn.
