 Since North was the only Catholic High School in the entire Northeast and suburbs at this time, students travelled from neighborhoods like North Philadelphia, Germantown, Mount Airy, Logan, Olney, & Wayne Junction as well as Mayfair, Tacony and the entire Far Northeast.This was due to the school's access to Frankford Station including trolleys, buses and the "El" to many parts of town and beyond.Some students even took the rail lines and buses and came to North from suburban areas such as Bristol, Jenkintown, Willow Grove, Glenside and Bensalem, PA. After the 1950s and the building of several new Catholic High Schools, the traditional nearby Parishes in Neighborhoods such as Frankford, Fishtown, Port Richmond, Bridesburg, Wissinoming & Kensington remained the core of NC students.
