Today Northwestern High School students, Jordan, Kaleb, Olivia and Nevaeh, traveled to IU5 in Edinboro to discuss the impacts of social media's influence with PA Attorney General, Dave Sunday. Our students engaged in insightful dialogue and provided meaningful thoughts to the General. The information gathered today will help guide the formation of policies, practices and laws in Pennsylvania. Our school community should be very proud of the maturity and insight our students shared today. Great job Wildcats!
Northwestern High School Chemistry 2 students built an iodine clock last week. The “clock” required understanding chemical reaction rates, collision theory, and solution concentrations. In the pictures and video, you’ll see students preparing their solutions and attempting to simultaneously mix 12 different solutions in order to get the clock to “run” from 1 o’clock to 12 o’clock (the 12 o’clock solution did experience a color change, but it occurred after the video was stopped). Click the link for the video, https://youtu.be/17bhTY8yl5U.
Congratulations to this amazing crew for getting through the SAT on Wednesday! Northwestern offers an in school SAT option twice a year!

Best of luck to the Northwestern HS eSports team as they head to Edinboro today. Good luck guys!

Northwestern Elementary had a very special surprise visitor yesterday! A former Northwestern student, now a Chief in the United States Navy, Erika Smith, returned to speak with our elementary students. She and her fellow sailors were honored to receive the Christmas cards our students created with Mrs. Borland. It was a meaningful moment as she shared her experiences and appreciation to our students for their kindness and generosity. We are so proud to see one of our own serving our country and inspiring the next generation!
