For years, Northwest has gone without a levey passing, but in 2007, after a final recount and a margin of two votes, Northwest finally passed a tax levy.

Northwest offers students the chance to participate in the major sports of baseball, softball, basketball, track and field, cross country, soccer, and football, as well as some less-widespread ones like swimming, golf, bowling, and tennis.

Northwest competes in the Fort Ancient Valley Conference Scarlet Division along with Ross, Norwood, Mt. Healthy, Edgewood, and Talawanda.

Football is the only sport in which the Knights are placed in Division II, all other sports are Division I.

Every sport gives out the prestigious "Knight Award" to the most valuable athlete in his or her respective sport.
