Northwestern is proud of it's connection to the United States Military through the alumni that have chosen to represent our nation through the armed forces.
According to the Ohio Department of Education website, “There are 34,000 children in Ohio with one or more parents serving in the military. This includes the children of active duty, reserve and Ohio National Guard members. Some of these children will attend six to nine different schools throughout their K-12 educational experiences. In addition to changing schools often, a student also can be affected by a parent’s deployment.
How we recognize our armed services:
On Veterans Day we hold a special event at the high school honoring all those who serve or who have served in the armed forces.
