A message from the Superintendent of Schools
Dear Students, Parents/Guardians, Employees, & Northwestern Lehigh Community ~
It is finally starting to feel a little like spring outside. We are entering my very favorite time of year where students are showcasing their academic, artistic, and athletic talents at programs and awards ceremonies across the district. We are preparing for graduation which is the culmination of a student's career at Northwestern Lehigh and are excited to celebrate with our students and families. I would like to take this opportunity to provide you with a few updates as we end the 2023-2024 school year!
Go Tigers!
