BLOCK SCHEDULING
Northwestern High School operates on a semester block or four-by-four (4 X 4) schedule. In
this format, students are responsible for only 4 subjects per semester.
Students are encouraged to take advantage of as many course offerings at Northwestern as
possible. There is no substitute for a well-rounded education. Such participation allows the student
the opportunity to find areas of strength and areas of interest. This knowledge is beneficial for
decisions involving college selection, work experiences and future career paths. The counselors at
Northwestern will be happy to assist students in maximizing their opportunities at NHS. Students
planning to graduate early MUST notify the counselors PRIOR to the spring semester of their year
of graduation.
