Warrior Shout Out to Mrs. Evans!
Northwestern High School Art Teacher, Ellie Evans, recently had the opportunity to present at the Ohio Art Education Association's Conference. Mrs. Evans created two presentations to share with other art teachers across the state highlighting how to set up a successful art show and a multi-grade level project titled 'The Monster Project'. Both the art show and the monster project are favorite happenings among both staff and students in the district.
In addition to being a presenter at the conference, Mrs. Evans has held leadership positions with OAEA as the West Region's PR and Advocacy Chair and this was named the Regional Director for the West Region. As special recognition for being an active member for 15 years, OAEA awared Mrs. Evan with the Circa Award!
Congratulations and thank you for representing the district so well!
Warrior Shout Out to Mrs. Walsh!
High School Aerospace teacher, Mrs. Walsh, is now officially certified as a commercial drone pilot with her Part 107 FAA Remote Pilot Certificate!
In a partnership with Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Mrs. Walsh will now be able to instruct and certify Northwestern High School students to become certified drone pilots and earn college credit through the ERAU. Students interested in becoming a drone pilot should definitely consider registering for our 2024-25 course focused on becoming an unmanned aircraft pilot and earning their Part 107 certification.
Congratulations and thank you for making new opportunities for our students!
Good afternoon NW families! This is just a reminder that the district has virtual days on Monday (11/20) and Tuesday (11/21). Have a wonderful break and Thanksgiving, Warrior Nation!

Congratulations to sixth grader, Maelyn Smith, for winning the 2023 Ohio Severe Weather Awareness Poster Contest earlier this year! Clark County Emergency Management Agency Director, Michelle Clements-Pitstick, and Deputy Director, Dave Perks, presented Smith with several awards, including regional and state championship certificates and a letter of recognition from Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. The contest for first through sixth graders is held annually by the Ohio Committee for Severe Weather Awareness.
Hello Northwestern Elementary Parents and Guardians. I am messaging to share some disappointing news. Although the rain should be gone by 2 p.m. we are canceling the parade due to the grass area of the playground being saturated. Classroom parties will still be taking place and will begin at 2:15 p.m. Doors to the school will be unlocked starting at 2:05 p.m. The playground parking lot will be available for parking. If you do choose to park in this area, please make sure you are out of this lot by 3 p.m. for our school buses.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing everyone later this afternoon.
Please be advised that busing will NOT be provided from Northwestern for those students attending CTC, GISA or the ESC campuses this Thursday, 10/26/23 due to NWLS being closed for the day. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We greatly appreciate your continued support and understanding in the meantime.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Transportation Department at (937) 964-1672 or schoolbus@nwlschools.org with any questions you may have.
Dear Northwestern Community,
We regret to inform you that we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Harvest of Healing event, initially scheduled for Thursday evening. We understand that this change may cause an inconvenience and we are sincerely sorry. We are working on contacting the vendors that signed up to volunteer at the event.
Students will still not report to school on Thursday. We are looking to reschedule this event in the Spring. The district appreciates the support from our community as always.
Thank you!
