Jackson Magazine Top Teacher- 2022- NOW ACCEPTING NOMINATIONS
Invest in Northwest - NEED OF THE WEEK!
Tennis programs at Northwest are growing. Currently the district offers boys and girls Varsity programs and would like to add a Middle School program.
Unfortunately, due to the state of our current tennis complex, our varsity programs are unable to hold home matches at Northwest. MSHAA requires that a complex has a minimum of 8 courts to hold a high school match.
Despite the current condition of the tennis complex at Northwest, on a daily basis it is being used by community members. We encourage the facility to be utilized by any community member who has a love for tennis. Please help us to build a complex that the community can be proud of.
