Looking for people living in Newton,Ma. hopefully that have teenage kids. What is there for teen boys to do there in Summer and Winter and which High School is best for more of an athelite than a scholar (male). Is there a town center that has a pool and other amenities to keep kids busy? Any info would be great.

Newton North seems to focus on Atheletics much more.


Copy from Newton North HS. Wikipedia

Athletics
Newton North competes in the Bay State league with other suburban Boston public schools.

Since 1894, the boys' football team plays rival Brookline High School in the traditional Thanksgiving Day Game. This is one of the oldest high school football rivalries in Massachusetts.

The boy's soccer team played in the state finals in 2001.

The boys' indoor track team won the state championship for 2001-02. In 2004-05, the team won a "triple crown" taking the cross country, indoor, and outdoor state titles; the Newton North girl's indoor track team won the state title as well.

In the spring of 2002, the tennis team won the Division 1 State Championship.

The boys' basketball team won the Division 1 State Championship in the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons. According to schoolsports.com, it was ranked 12th in the nation for the '05-'06 season.

In 2005-06, the boys' football team won the Bay State league championship and went on to the division 1A state championship super bowl.

In 2006, Newton North's David Smith won the Massachusetts State Shotput Championship.

In 2006, Charles O'Brien won the Heisman Trophy. He now attends Boston College and is starting on the Division 1 football team.

Academics
Newton North is one of Massachusetts' leading high schools. The school offers classes ranging from regular academic courses to technical and vocational training. Non-standard courses range from video production to architecture to automobile repair. However, budgetary constraints have led to the cutting of certain electives in recent years.

South notables
During the mid and late 90's Newton South's Men Tennis Team lead by Reeve Segal and Alex Wong, made a state record three consecutive state finals, bringing Newton South the State Championship in 1997.

The Newton South Basketball team led by Harvard graduate Matt Stehle, and MIT graduate Mike D'Auria reached the Division 1 South final during the 2001-2002 season.

South notables include the girls' cross-country and track and field teams, which perenially rank among the best in the state.

South also sports a prominent Science Team that competes regularly in state-wide championships such as the National Ocean Science Bowl, the State Olympiad and a 2-person team-based engineering competition sponsored by BU. The Science Team finished first in the Western Suburban Science League and fourth in the state Science Olympiad for the 2005-2006 season.

Two stars of NBC's comedy The Office graduated from Newton South: John Krasinski and B.J. Novak. Novak actually wrote the first play Krasinski performed in at Newton South; they both graduated in 1997.
