The building houses grades 9–12 and also functions as the primary athletic building. HistoryNorthwestern High School was founded in 1948 as the result of a merge between Clay, Ervin, and Howard High Schools,[2][3] during a period known as the "Consolidation Boom" when many other schools were also being consolidated.[4] The Clay High School sign still stands outside the main entrance to the school.[3] The school received its name because of its geographic location within Howard County,[4] but the founders of the school also deliberately modeled the school after Northwestern University because of the university's reputation for scholastic excellence.[4] Northwestern High School's school colors of purple and white and the school fight song "Go You Northwestern" were both directly adopted from Northwestern University.[4] The school faced difficulties early in its history because it is located in a remote, rural area[4] and there were no cities or towns included within its boundaries.[4] Dayton Merrell, who graduated from the school in 1955 and has continued to live in the area ever since, remarked in an interview in 2017, "Sixty-eight years ago, that was a big deal... We had nothing but cornfields."[4] The class of 1949, the first class to graduate from Northwestern, contained only forty-two students.[5] For the first seven years of its history, Northwestern did not have a gymnasium of any kind,[4] so the school could only compete against other schools that would let them use their gymnasiums.[4] As a result of this, for two years, Northwestern was the only school in the state that would compete against Crispus Attucks High School, an all-black high school in Indianapolis.[4] Originally, basketball, baseball, and track were the only sports that Northwestern offered.[4] Northwestern eventually became the first consolidated school to win the Kokomo Sectional against a top ten team in boys' basketball,[4] a feat which the school replicated in both 1981 and 1982.[4] In 2006, the school added a new auditorium to its main campus.[3] The addition was controversial at the time,[3] but the superintendent Ryan Snoddy affirmed in 2017 that he still thought it was the best decision.[3] In June 2012, the school installed a wind turbine, making it the first school in the county to attempt to harness wind energy.[6][7] The school paid roughly $2.5 million on the windmill, with most of the interest being covered by the federal government.[6][7] At the time, school officials expected that the windmill would probably result in around seven million dollars worth in energy savings over the course of its projected twenty-five-year lifespan.[6][7] In 2013, the school corporation adopted iPads for all students.[8] Extracurricular activitiesNorthwestern competes in the Hoosier Athletic Conference,[9] In 2007, the Northwestern Boys' Basketball team won the Indiana High School Boys Basketball Tournament.[10] In 2018, the Northwestern Girls' Basketball team won the Class 3A state title in the Indiana High School Girls Basketball Tournament.[10][11][12] In January 2018, Northwestern High School's State Competition Cast, Troupe 3924, earned highest distinction at the Indiana Thespian State Conference with their show Waylen[13][14] and was selected as the Indiana Thespiana Chapter Select to compete at the International Thespian Festival in Lincoln, Nebraska in June of that year.[13][14] Notable alumni
