Dear Northwestern Warriors: I want to address an important matter that has come to our attention. A concerning student social media post was brought to our attention here at the junior/senior high school late in the school day. Rest assured that we take such matters very seriously, and we investigated the situation thoroughly. The safety and well-being of our students and staff are our top priority, and we work closely with local authorities to ensure that all appropriate steps are taken. At this time, there is no confirmed or credible evidence to suggest that there is any immediate threat. However, we will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as needed. We encourage all members of our community to remain vigilant and report any concerning information to school staff or administration. We ask for your cooperation and support in keeping the school environment safe for all students. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your understanding and trust.

Dear Northwestern families, On Monday, April 21, 2025 our district will be conducting an extensive emergency drill that is required by the state. Though our students have the day off of school, our staff will be on campus training alongside the Clark County EMA, Clark County School Resource Officers, emergency responders of the Clark County Sheriff's Department, Pike Township and German Township. The campus will be closed to all outside community members while the drill is being conducted. The drill will begin promptly at 8:00 a.m. During this time, several law enforcement will be on site, so please do not be alarmed if you see lights or hear sirens on campus. THIS IS ONLY A DRILL! All agencies participating are using this time as training as well. We will send another communication out closer to the day as a reminder. Again, this is just a drill. Our staff and local law enforcement are undergoing this training to prepare how to respond safely and effectively during emergencies and reinforcing safety protocols.  Thank you!
