My child loves Northwestern. I believe that he is getting an especially good education in chemistry, because he always comes home telling me that he would like to get a job as a scientist, and he shows and tells me what things they did in chemistry class that day.
Ok, I am a sophmore at the school and let me just tell you, its awesome! The staff is great even though us students disagree sometimes. There are just one or two impatient ones in the school. I love how if you need help, they try to do their best to help you out (including my Algebra II teacher Mrs. Sroufe). They offer a wide variety of classes (I'm currently taking Spanish, Multimedia, and I'm helping design the Yearbook). The teachers don't except anything but the best and Mrs. Boggess even prepares you for the real world. Overall the staff actually cares about us. I'm glad to say I go to Northwestern, and I hope it continues to be as successful as it is.
If our students, particularly Levi, are willing to share the love they have for their school, then so shall I. I have lived in the district since I was twelve years old. I went to the elementary at Northwestern, starting at the sixth grade, and completed in 1968. My life and heart can be found in the substance that Northwestern is composed of: family, tradition, loyalty, respectabilty, and excellance. My three children have gone through the same system which gave me commitment to my community, state, and country. We/they all went through, gained, and were fulfilled with the Northwestern value sytem that made them proud and striving adults. A lifetime experienced/lived through the personal involvement with the students of more than three decades, parents, and friends have proved invaluable to my existence. Northwestern has been an excellent school system, community, and home. Martin Harness
Howdy, I'm a freshman in highschool and I attend Northwestern. The guidance counsler for the freshman class is the best ever. Most of the staff I've met are very helpful. The teachers are the best. They're awesome at teaching, and if you really don't understand something they're really sweet as they help you understand. (Especially Mrs. Sroufe - Algebra 1) The kids are alright, and the activities are pretty good also. I would highly suggest this school for anyone!
