I really liked how ONW has the technology available for students to develop their skills, from art to engineering. Many teachers actually want to teach you, and you can develop good relationships with them. There are many clubs to choose from, and a variety of classes to expand your interests. The Arts are especially great, from everything music to the showcasing of drawings, paintings, and photography. The main trouble here is with students, with bullying (see our homecoming news a few years back), and the teachers that allow or encourage hate. You will be able to make good friends here, though, and find the support you need to grow as a human!
Olathe Northwest High School is a personification of American high school in pop culture. What I mean by that is the groups, the stereotypes, the atmosphere, etc. Northwest has every type and group of kid imaginable, however that doesn't mean they don't connect at times. The "jocks" don't rule the school like they do in the movies but instead tend to have friends with multiple different types of students. This means that there isn't the stereotypical high school drama with the conflicting groups of students. This is the reason why the atmosphere at Northwest is tolerating and accepting. Northwest is truly a utopian version of the high school image that pop culture paints.
All the teachers are amazing, and if you go to ONW, you are getting the best out of your education. The pride everyone has in this school is great and all the students are proud to be raven! This school offers a wide variety of classes you can take, clubs you can join, and extra curricular activities.
