A lot of improvements have been made since I first started going to Northwood. There are a wide variety of students and teachers at the school.

My time at Northwood high school has been very nourishable and educational. I have had plenty of great memories here with the staff and students. The only thing I would I would like to see changed is the building.

Although I've had good experiences, I wish that the staff would be more inclusive with everyone rather than just the majority. I feel like if there were more resources and more inclusion, we would be less dispersed.
