With yearbook distribution day coming up Northwest is excited to share some outstanding news!! Out of over 1,000 schools across the country, Northwest was selected to be featured in the 2024 LookBook which showcases the “best of the best” in the yearbook world. Our 2023 book “Live in the Moment” was featured and the students received a copy of the award and printout today. This award is given to schools with outstanding graphic design, photography, excellence, creativity, inclusion, and innovation. We were featured twice. One for achieving a Gold Level Program of Excellence and the second for the actual graphic design and layout of the book (this is actually the hardest to accomplish!). Our book is printed in this showcase which will be distributed to over 11,000 high schools across the US, Canada, and internationally.

It is National Librarian Day and our Vikings are the BEST!

We are so thankful for our Librarians and Media Assistant!
