Northwest Homecoming 2024 Update!
Due to the lack of community attendance in recent years and after careful consideration, we will NOT have a Homecoming Parade in 2024. However, we’re excited to announce that for 2025, we’re planning to move the parade to the evening! This change aims to make it easier for our Pettis County R-V Alumni and community members to join us without having to take time off work.
Stay tuned for more details this week about royalty candidates, theme days, and other Homecoming events. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to celebrating with everyone!
Homecoming is October 11th. GO MUSTANGS!!

The link below will take you to the school district survey for all patrons asking for your opinions on our facilities and how we should move forward to meet the CSIP goal to provide and maintain appropriate facilities and instructional resources for teaching and learning. Thank you

Northwest High School Blood Drive: October 31, 2024. Link to sign up: https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/drive-results?zipSponsor=NorthwestHSHughesville


UPDATE:
The elementary has been cleared. No gas problem. Everyone is back inside.

Due to a health situation at the high school an ambulance has been called. This is a precautionary measure - all students and staff are fine. Personal contacts for the individual to be seen have already been called.

Due to a slight gas smell, the elementary is outside this morning. Experts will be determining the source of the smell. All the children are fine, they are enjoying class outside in the beautiful weather today.

Pettis Co R-V formally adopted a new Facility Plan in July 2024. This plan is in response to our Continuous School Improvement (CSIP) goal that states we will provide and maintain appropriate facilities and instructional resources for teaching and learning.
Past
Pettis Co R-V School District has two main buildings that were originally constructed in the 1930s. The school district was once: Cartwright, Houstonia R-III, Hughesville R-II, Longwood C-3, and Postal No. 21. None of those entities exist any longer. We are, and have been for over 50 years, Pettis Co. R-V the Northwest Mustangs.
Future
Primarily due to the age of the main buildings and the significant financial cost to maintain and safely operate both Pettis Co R-V locations, the Northwest community will need to make serious decisions on what changes need to be made in the future. The school district will be extending a survey to all patrons asking for your opinions on our facilities and how we should move forward to meet the CSIP goal to provide and maintain appropriate facilities and instructional resources for teaching and learning.
