Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) is a club that promotes acceptance and pride for the LGBT community at North

Many teens feel alienated because their identity is not seen as "normal", GSA offers those kids a place to be reminded that they are not alone.

Every year, North's GSA hosts the Day of Silence, a day in April organized by GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network)

to spread awareness for bullying against the LGBT community. With acknowledgement comes acceptance, and with acceptance comes love, and GSA wants to remind students that love is all anyone needs at the end of the day.
