The 2007 Girls Lacrosse team was also the state runner-up. The Titans also won the 2007 Class AAAAA Volleyball Title after defeating Kennesaw Mountain in the finals.

Northview's colors are Navy Blue and Silver. Peter Zervakos has been Northview's principal since it opened its doors in 2002. While it may seem that the Titan was designated by Zervakos due to his Greek heritage, the fact that the school's symbol is the thunderbolt is contradictory; in Greek Mythology, Zeus slaughtered the Titans with the thunderbolt. The Northview Chamber Orchestra was invited to perform at the Georgia Music Educators' Association Conference in Savannah, GA in January 2004 and again in January 2008, the prestigious Midwest Clinic in Chicago, IL in December 2004, and was also chosen to represent the State of Georgia for Mozart's 250th Anniversary Celebration in Salzburg, Austria; Vienna, Austria; and Prague, Czech Republic in April 2006.
