From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
North Atlanta High School is a high school of approximately 1,300 students in Buckhead, an upscale area of Atlanta, Georgia. The school is a part of Atlanta Public Schools.
The school was formed after North Fulton High School combined with Northside High School in the 1991-1992 school year. The school has two magnet schools: one consisting of a performing arts program and one geared toward international studies.
