What happened outside of North Kingstown High School last week?
You may have seen some police activity at North Kingstown High School last week. Following the school shooting in Newtown, CT, parents have understandably been on edge about school safety and security. A few passerby saw several squad cars outside of NKHS and emailed us wondering what happened. As school ended on Jan. 18, a fight broke out between four students at the corner of Annaquatucket and Fairway Drive right outside the high school around 2 p.m. According to reports, the fight began when a brother and sister pulled into a driveway on Annaquatucket Road to confront another student who was walking back to her car which was parked there.

Star on the Rise: URI music major and NKHS graduate Devon Morin is performing with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and preparing for life on the stage.
Release courtesy the University of Rhode Island's Department of Communications and Marketing. Reporting by Ericka Tavares. While many college students are spending this winter break visiting with family and friends, University of Rhode Island senior and opera baritone Devon Morin is performing with the Boston Pops at Boston Symphony Hall. It’s a big stage, but he has gotten used to it, having performed on the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s hallowed ground in the summer of 2011 in Bramwell Tovey’s revival of Porgy and Bess. “It was the first solo I had ever had and you have to sing over full orchestration and you are unamplified so you have to be heard,” Morin said. He remembered looking up at Symphony Hall’s decorative Greek and Roman statues…
Police are still investigating the message found in a stall in the girls' bathroom.
A threatening message found in a bathroom stall at North Kingstown High School yesterday has been deemed "not credible" following an investigation by school officials and the North Kingstown Police Department. The message was found in one of the school's bathrooms around 8 a.m. Wednesday, prompting school administration to contact the NKPD.

In April 2011, Davisville Middle School was evacuated twice in two days following two bomb threats. One of those threats led to the arrest of a custodian, who admitted …

You obviously know me, or at least you're familiar with me, and have something personal against me. The only thing is, if you really … more ›

According to The South County Independent and readers, North Kingstown wins the annual Thanksgiving match-up thanks to a fourth quarter stand.
According to several readers, the North Kingstown Skippers beat the South Kingstown Rebels, 20-16, at North Kingstown High School on Thanksgiving Day. The loss means that the Rebels will finish the 2012 season winless. South Kingstown won an Injury Fund exhibition against Chariho, but otherwise didn’t win a game this year. In contrast, the win snaps a long losing streak for North Kingstown, which last won on Sept. 22 against Pilgrim High School. It’s a minor upset, considering that South Kingstown is a Division I squad. Although the Rebels went winless this year, it’s still rare for Division I teams to lose to lower-division teams. According to The South County Independent’s Facebook page, the Skippers clinched the game in the fourth …

I am constantly amazed by the talent and dedication of the students and faculty connected with the NKHS fine arts programs. Last night was another shining example.
