Northview staff help their student with school work, sports and to attend to college. They have a great wrestling, cheerleading and baseball team..

I currently have 2 sons that attend NVHS and I plan on sending my other 2 as soon as they are old enough. Both my boys are excelling in grades and sports. Student-Athletes is what they drill into my boys all the time. The coaches make them accountable for their grades and I am grateful for the role models they are being for my sons.

I am a parent of a student whom attends northview ,i have the upmost respect for the teachers and coaches there , they all do care!i have a private school son and the comparison is that this school does care for the student itself,any problem any complaint is taken care of ,and i love the interest that they take on individuals who try hard any work hard for their grades!

I am a parent of a family of kids that attended Northview High School and I'm grateful that they did. My son was an above average student, but not a great student and he was a very good baseball player as well. The teachers and administration worked hard to make sure he took the right classes. I also would like to say if you have a son that plays baseball, this is the best place to play. Coach Murphy is not only a coach, but a continuous supporter of the boys in baseball, but most importantly, he talks to them about their futures and what they will need to do to be successful in life. Thank you Northview.

My Son will be graduate this year from Northview High. I want to thank the teachers for realizing that my son wanted to learn and took him under their wings to make his years at Northview the best that any student could want. Mrs. Atherton, Ms. Tate and Mr. Jose you are the best! Thank you so very much!

I have three children that have been to NHS. Teachers, staff and administration work together to motivate students to do their best with tangible results. My only suggestion is to ask for a greater investment in resources toward helping students with college entrance concerns and scholarships opportunities.

I love this school. It has some of the best teacher's. Dana Craig teaches health and is wonderful and he has the patience of a saint. Mrs Rojas spanish, Mr. Hernandez, Mr. Bobby Bellamy biology, and Mrs Kirkbride are some of the greatest teachers. There are just to many to name. Mr. Winkler the woodshop teacher, Coach Ochoa. All the women in the front office are more than willing to help with any little problem. The principal is hands on very easy to approach always seems to have time for any parent who needs to speak with him.
