Mi nombre es Colin Duffy. I am entering my senior year at North. I currently manage the North Pointe’s flourishing social media accounts and write articles. I also play safety for the varsity football team, I am an officer of the investment club and I am an officer of link crew.
Outside of school, I have 3 brothers and a dog named Suzie. In my free time I like to grill out with the boys and I manage two fantasy football teams in competitive leagues. A fun fact about me is that I am left handed, and another one is that I am my mom’s favorite son.

After the fire, Big Boy made major updates to the inside and outside of the building. “It's almost symbolic in a sense - reopening in the midst of the pandemic is like being reborn by fire, which is how I think it will feel when we finally get to return to our North home,” social studies teacher Mr. McCarroll said.
