I have attended Northwest Rankin High School from my freshman to senior year. Like any school it has its ups and downs. I would have to say the best parts of my experience have been the friendships I've made, pep rallies, football games, being involved in different clubs/activities, and show choir. Now some experiences that haven't particularly been the best are a safety scare and the cafeteria food.

I enjoyed my 4 years at Northwest Rankin High School, I had several good teachers, alot of hands on training, It has allowed me to be better prepared for college. I would have loved to see more one on one with students who sometimes had challenges with the course work.

I really enjoyed all sports and activities. The culture of NWR is very involved with all sorts of activities. The teachers for the most part are very involved and embracive. I've loved the past 4 years at Northwest Rankin.
