Please Read: NWHS School Safety Plan     

All students must have up-to-date immunizations.  If it has been 10 years since the student’s last TD (Tetanus/Diphtheria) booster, the student needs to get a booster and bring documentation of this booster to the Northwest nurse.  If you have any questions you can call nurse Jeanne Immich at 973-6019 or e-mail her at jimmich@usd259.net.

Congratulations to the men's bowling team and coach Jodi Floyd for winning the state 6A tournament the weekend of March 1.

Students have begun enrolling in classes for the 2008-2009 school year. Counselors are meeting with each grade to provide general information, teachers in advocacy time are reviewing transcripts and their four year plan with students, and counselors are meeting individually with each student to determine their course requests for the 2008-2009 school year. All materials provided to students for enrollment are available on this website at http://northwest.usd259.org/enrollment/08-09. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact your student's class counselor.

The Kansas Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association has named Northwest High School AD, Mr. J Means, District 4 Athletic Director of the Year. Mr. Means will receive his award at the KIAAA State Conference held in Hutchinson in March. Mr. Means has served NWHS as AD for five years. Congratulations to Mr. Means for the outstanding job he does every day for the students of NWHS. The award is well deserved.
