Over the last few years Northland has grown from 63 students to 83 to 111 to 123! With these blessings come even more opportunities for students and ministry. In the past year alone, we’ve been able to add Architectural Design and Accounting 2 (both for college credit) as well as Cross Country, Golf, and Drama. We’ve also welcomed new students and families into the Northland family and God’s family.
With these blessings also comes need for space. The Long Range Planning Committee shared with the NLHS Board of Directors the urgency of a building addition as early as 2026-2027.
