Mission and Philosophy

Education is the means by which we are prepared to fulfill our roles as individuals and responsible members of society. It is through our educational experiences that we acquire the skills, knowledge, personal qualities, and personal values that allow us to become productive, satisfied people. In other words, it is through education that we gain the tools to achieve success.

It is the hope of all Northwood High School faculty and staff that all students graduate from Northwood High School equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to continue to grow and become successful. We recognize that this is a joint effort on the part of students, parents, teachers and the community at large. Our students' achievements are a reflection of the extent of this joint commitment.

It is the mission of Northwood High School to provide students a quality program which gives them the tools necessary to be productive in society and life-long learners. We do this in an atmosphere which works to foster individual creativity and knowledge while promoting social cooperation and teamwork. We strive to help students develop self-esteem, self-discipline, and self-motivation. It is within this framework that we present the following objectives of our program.
