Northwest Community Schools is a public school district in Jackson County, Michigan. It serves parts of the following townships: Blackman, Henrietta, Rives, Sandstone, and Tompkins. It also serves parts of Leslie Township and Onondaga Township in Ingham County.
History Several small school districts northwest of Jackson consolidated in 1954 to form the Northwest Community Schools, then known as Northwest School District. Without a high school of its own, the new district continued to send high school students to Jackson High School and Springport High School.
In 1955, citizens in the district voted to build a high school, which opened in fall, 1957. That building became the middle school when the current high school opened on the same campus in 1968. The architect was Commonwealth Associates.
