🇺🇸 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!

As in recent years, veteran alumni will receive letters of thanks and gratitude from students on or shortly after the holiday. While we already have an existing directory of veteran alumni for mailing, if you know an alumni veteran, please click the link below to submit their name and mailing address. We would love to continue to grow our alumni veterans list, update alumni veteran addresses, and above all, to show our thanks and appreciation for our veterans!

The Jr./Sr. High School is taking part in the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) sponsored by the Clark County Combined Health District. Other high schools and middle schools in Clark County are also participating in the 2025 administration of this survey. The survey will take place in PRIDE class on Wednesday and Thursday October 22nd and October 23rd.
The purpose of this survey is to learn about the health of the youth in our community so that community based programs can effectively address any health concerns. The research survey will ask about the health behaviors of individual 7th through 12th grade students. A wide variety of health-related questions will be asked, including questions about the child’s nutrition, physical activity, injuries, safety, violence, tobacco, alcohol and other drug use, sexual behaviors, mental health, and access to health care.
For more information on this survey and its contents please visit:

Your student obtained an opt out form last week and will need to return the opt out form to their PRIDE class if you choose not to participate.
