Calendar for the 24/25 School Year
The calendar for the 2025-2026 school year is now posted!
Please note that beginning in the 2025-26 school year, Northwest Community Schools will transition from a trimester schedule to a semester schedule. This change is being made to enhance academic continuity and improve financial efficiency while maintaining the integrity of all of our programs.
As always, please contact us at nw.media@nwschools.org, or submit an inquiry HERE with any questions or concerns you may have regarding this change for the 25/26 school year. More information and updates regarding the 25/26 school calendar will be published to the district's website.

Congratulations NWHS Choirs!
CONGRATULATIONS!! To all 5 of our choirs on their Superior performances at District Festival! Out of a total of 600 points are 5 choirs combined to lose only 13 total points!! We received 11 perfect scores out of 20 judges and more importantly we walked off that stage proud of what we had accomplished. This means that, once again, all 5 of our choirs qualified for State Choir Festival in May!
Thank you to all of you for supporting these students! And a big thank you to everyone that chaperoned for us! Use the link below to listen to our recordings from festival!
