Northwestern Local Schools Mission Statement

The Mission Statement for the Northwestern Local Schools is "We prepare our students today for tomorrow’s opportunities!"

This mission is the cornerstone of all that we do. While the main focus is teaching our students the necessary academic standards, we recognize that we can not do this alone. This is a collaborative effort between our school, our students and families and our community. On this site we will include links to organizations and resources that may be of interest, at various times.

Goodwill of Wayne County Services for students
