💥 College and Career Readiness Discovery Day: Vitals & Vision was a total hit!
Our future healthcare heroes got hands-on with their dreams — meeting incredible local healthcare partners, exploring college pathways, and discovering how their YouScience talents can lead to meaningful, life-changing careers. 🩺✨

From nursing to radiology, from EMTs to medical research — the possibilities are endless, and our students are ready to chase them! 💙❤️

🇺🇸 Honoring Our Veterans 🇺🇸 Today, we pause to honor and thank all those who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Your courage, dedication, and sacrifice protect the freedoms we cherish every day. Our Northwestern community is deeply grateful to our veterans — including staff members, family, and community partners — for their service to our nation. Northwestern alumni (class of 1966), Mr. Donald Putterbaugh, donated benches in honor of all veterans. The memorial can be found on campus out front of the Jr/Sr High School. Let us take this day to reflect on the meaning of service and to express our heartfelt appreciation to all who have worn the uniform. Thank you, veterans. We salute you! #VeteransDay #ThankYouVeterans #WeRemember

Dear Parents and Guardians,
We hope this message finds you well. Beginning this grading period, Northwestern Jr./Sr. High School will make student grade cards available online through ProgressBook on October 24, 2025, for the first quarter. In an effort to improve access to academic information, we will no longer mail hard copies of report cards home.
Parents and guardians can view their child's grades, attendance, and teacher comments directly by logging into their ProgressBook Parent Access account. This allows you to see grades in real time and stay informed about your student's academic progress throughout the school year.
If you do not yet have a ProgressBook account or need assistance accessing it, please contact Jenn Timmons by emailing timmonsj@nwlschools.org for support.
We appreciate your cooperation and partnership as we continue to provide timely and secure access to student information.
Thank you for your continued support of Northwestern Jr./Sr. High School and our students' success.
Sincerely,
Mr. Fries and Mr. Bushey
Principal and Assistant Principal Northwestern Jr./Sr. High School
