Northwest High School

📸Class of 2027, it’s your time to shine. Don’t delay, book today!📸

🎓💚 The Class of 2026 has officially graduated. 💛🎓

Four years of memories.
Four years of growth.
Four years of defending the ship.

This class left their mark on Northwest High School through leadership, school spirit, hard work, and unforgettable moments that will live on long after today. From pep rallies and Friday night lights to late nights, laughs, and lifelong friendships — you made these halls mean something.

As you take your next step, remember that being a Viking is more than a title — it’s a legacy. Continue to lead, inspire, and strengthen every room you walk into.

Once a Viking, always a Viking. ⚔️
Congratulations, Class of 2026. The future is yours.

Our very own, Taylor McGovern!

NWHS Food Science and CDC students teamed up for their annual garden planting day! Students worked together to plant the garden and also had the opportunity to spend time handling barnyard animals. It was a fun and hands-on learning experience for everyone involved.

One last ride before the next chapter begins. 🎢💚💛

Yesterday, the Class of 2026 traded classrooms for coasters as they made memories together at Dollywood one final time as Northwest High students. From laughs on the rides to moments with friends that will last a lifetime, this trip was a reminder that being a Viking is more than just going to school together — it’s being part of a family.

As these seniors prepare to leave Northwest and take on the future, we hope they always remember the memories, friendships, and moments that helped shape their journey. Once a VIKING, ALWAYS a VIKING.
