Our November 2026 SAILOR On Deck is Karmin Olds, Career Tech counselor, who has served North Ed for over seven years. Karmin is recognized for exemplifying the core value of Excellence by providing the highest quality of service and post-secondary planning support for her students, connecting them with opportunities to reach their full potential.

Thanks to her innovative pre-meeting QR code featuring thoughtful intake questions, student sign-ups have surged and meetings are far more efficient—allowing students to maximize their time and leave with clear, actionable pathways for their future.

Thank you, Karmin, for your commitment to North Ed and our community.

In observance of Indigenous Peoples' Day, we extend our deepest respect to the Anishinaabe people and acknowledge that we live and work on the traditional, ancestral, and contemporary homelands of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians. Visit https://www.tadl.org/indigenous to find Indigenous stories and amplify Indigenous voices. 

Land Acknowledgement, designed by Dominic Miller:

We stand here on Turtle Island, our precious earth, this beautiful land of Michigan, cherished and maintained for generations by the Anishinaabe people. We wish to recognize those whose traditional land we are gathered upon and today as the land on which the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians have resided for thousands of years. To recognize the land is an expression of gratitude and appreciation to those whose territory you reside on, and a way of honoring Indigenous people who have been living and working on the land from time immemorial (existing since beyond the reach of memory). It is important to understand the long-standing history that has brought us to reside on the land, and seek to understand our place within that history. We give honor to the Anishinaabe people for their continual contributions to the land and society.

Every hour in the classroom is a chance for discovery and collaboration. From hands-on science to group discussions, much of the learning process happens in real time. We look forward to seeing our students each day to make the most of these moments.
