VISIONOur students will be independent, resilient, life-long learners who have the skills necessary to succeed in a global society.

Northview is committed to a school-wide effort to have all NHS students be expert problem solvers. Students will show measurable growth through the implementation of strategies that promote critical thinking, collaborating and effectively communicating as measured by department generated common assessments, grade distributions, A-G completion rates, district-wide writing assessments, and state wide common assessments.

MISSION STATEMENT The core purpose of Northview High School is to establish and empower a community of problem solvers who effectively collaborate, think critically, and communicate. Resolve To Evolve

ABOUT USFor almost 60 years, Northview High School has been home to a myriad of students who have hailed from extremely diverse backgrounds.

At Northview, we empower our students to question, investigate, analyze, collaborate and resolve and in doing so—they evolve.
