Principal’s Message
Dear Northeast Family,
We welcome you to the 2026-2027 school year, and I am so happy to be back home at Northeast High School as your new principal.
As many of you know, I was an Assistant Principal at Northeast many years ago, and coming back as your principal feels completely full circle. I truly love everything about our school: the Viking pride, our talented and hardworking staff, our traditions, and most importantly, our students.
My vision is for Northeast to provide the best school experience for high school students in the entire country. But I can’t do that by myself, and our staff can’t do it alone. We need you. For our students, getting the best experience means getting involved. We have sports teams and clubs to join. We have games to attend as you cheer us on to victory. There are opportunities to make lifelong friends and events that you will remember for the rest of your life. For our families, we are appreciative of your trust. We will provide your children with challenging academics, moments of joy, and all kinds of support. Together, we will make sure they succeed.
We are the best school in Philadelphia. Don’t ever forget it because after thirteen years, I haven’t.
I’m so excited to be your principal. Thank you, and I’m looking forward to a great school year.
There’s no place like Northeast!
Sincerely,
Andrew Lukov
