As we celebrate our nation's 250th, we have opened up our archives and wanted to share memories of Northwest HS from 1976, when our nation celebrated its 200th.  This photo shows a morning drop-off seen from inside the building in late 1976.  Yes, this was fifty years ago!  Notice in the background, no practice soccer field or tennis courts?   Look at those cars!
