We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Northwestern Regional High School was an amazing place to learn. I loved every second I spent there, and when I graduate at the end of this year, I will miss it greatly. From the school culture, to the teachers, to the amazing peers who attend there and the overall supportive climate, I can say with all sincerity that I will miss this high school greatly and cherish all the memories I made along the way.
