History
Several small school districts northwest of Jackson consolidated in 1954 to form the Northwest Community Schools, then known as Northwest School District. Without a high school of its own, the new district continued to send high school students to Jackson High School and Springport High School.In 1955, citizens in the district voted to build a high school, which opened in fall, 1957. That building became the middle school when the current high school opened on the same campus in 1968. The architect was Commonwealth Associates.
