The Northwest School

Always great to welcome alumni back to The House! 👋
 
Today, we had the chance to welcome Brian Chung ‘09 back to campus all the way from South Korea for a visit with Dean of Students Kevin Alexander.
 
No matter where life takes our alumni, they’ll always have a home at Northwest. 🏫

Congratulations to our 10th grade students on completing their study abroad experiences at our partner schools, Colegio Docente María in Spain and Lycée Emmanuel Mounier in France! 🌍
 
During the third trimester, students immersed themselves in new cultures, built lasting friendships, strengthened their language skills, and gained valuable global perspectives.
 
We are so proud of their growth, courage, and accomplishments. Welcome home! ✈️

Last week, our seniors spent time together at their annual Senior Retreat, reflecting on their Northwest journey and enjoying one final experience as a class before commencement.

Congratulations, Sophia, Elle, and all our other amazing NWS students who participated in WMEA All-State this year! We are so proud of you! 🎶

Sophia represented Northwest in the All-State Band, performing as Principal Flute and a featured soloist, while Elle represented Northwest as a member of the All-State Treble Choir.

Your hard work, dedication, and musical achievements are a reflection of our Northwest community! 👏

A wonderful way to close out the year for our Performing Dance Ensemble! 💃
 
Last night, students took the stage at Broadway Performance Hall for the PDE Extravaganza, showcasing months of hard work, creativity, and collaboration through student created duets and group performances. It was an evening filled with energy and artistry as we celebrated the accomplishments of our dancers and recognized our graduating seniors.
 
Congratulations to all of the performers, choreographers, and faculty who helped make this year’s show such a success! 👏
