Close

When plans were announced in 2016 to close the school, alumni and community leaders mounted an ultimately unsuccessful campaign to keep it open.^[1] Northwestern High School closed at the end of the 2016–2017 school year, having been merged with Forest Park High School as part of the Baltimore City Public Schools's "21st Century Schools Building Plan" to consolidate and modernize schools in the district in response to declining enrollments. Student records are obtainable through BCPS headquarters.
