The senior trip for the class of 2026 is in the books! Students and chaperones took NYC by storm - Central Park, Times Square, The Edge at Hudson Yards, shopping on Canal Street, Rockefeller Center, 9/11 Museum and Memorial, subway rides and a sunset Statue of Liberty cruise. This group was awesome to travel with and represented our school so well!
Extra High School yearbooks alert! If you haven't already purchased a High School yearbook, you are in luck. Yearbooks are available on a first come, first serve basis. Grab yours from Mr. Wolfe or Miss Adams before they're gone.

This afternoon Mrs. Wood and her Grade 9 ELA students had the honor of interacting with Holocaust survivor Joel Nommick. Mr. Nommick joined our students virtually in our Performing Arts Center. This cherished opportunity was provided to Northwestern HS in collaboration with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The students had the chance to interact with Mr. Nommick, and inquire about his life as a Holocaust survivor. This afternoon was a very humbling and honored experience. A very special thank you to Mr. Nommick for sharing his life with our students.
You have two more opportunities to watch our amazingly, talented students on tonight and tomorrow at 7pm in the high school Performing Arts Center (auditorium)!
