Northwest Community Schools is a public school district in Jackson County, Michigan. It serves parts of the following townships: Blackman, Henrietta, Rives, Sandstone, and Tompkins.[4] It also serves parts of Leslie Township and Onondaga Township in Ingham County.[5]
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.[6]
In 1955,[7] citizens in the district voted to build a high school, which opened in fall, 1957.[8] That building became the middle school[9][10] when the current high school opened on the same campus in 1968. The architect was Commonwealth Associates.[11]
