Unified People & Upward Performance - Mrs. Janie Hatton, Principal of North says, "Teaching is heart work." The movement is ever upward for North's students. More and more of North's students will accomplish great things. Initiatives to increase student performance include establishing Academies, a focus on literacy, using technology for powerful, accelerated learning, and GEAR UP. UWM is the lead agency for the GEAR UP program which supports students in the goal of getting ready for and pursuing learning beyond high school. Attending a trade, technical college, or university will assist students to have a quality life.

In 1996, Mrs. Janie Hatton worked with the Task Force for a New North and returned to North in 2001 as Principal. Mrs. Hatton's many honors include, the 1993 National Association of Secondary School Principals (NAASP) / MetLife Principal of the Year award and the MPS Principal of the Year award in 1989.

Mrs. Hatton's goal is "to be part of MPS' greatest story ever to be unfolded. North Division is a 'Blue Diamond' for the committed, the talented and those yearning to share their brilliance with the world."
