Hometown Rankin - February & May 2015

Northwest Rankin High is a school where service is emphasized.
In a friendly competition with Brandon High School, the Northwest
Rankin Zone collected over 34,000 cans of food for the
Rankin County Food Network. During the month of September,
the school held a beautification day. Hundreds of students, faculty,
and community members worked together to paint the interior of
the school, improve the landscaping on campus, and clean up the
building’s surroundings. Students and faculty also sponsored a
blood drive for Mississippi Blood Services and were honored for
their willingness to help others by being given an Outstanding
Donor Award.
Students from Northwest Rankin High School are active
leaders in the community and on campus. The senior class worked
to help mentor students in TopSoccer, a program for young athletes
with disabilities. NWRHS students are also actively involved in
various extracurricular and athletic programs. The volleyball team,
girls’ swim team, and the boys’ swim team won district, South state,
and placed as runner-up in South state. Whether it is the football
team making the playoffs, the band receiving an all-superior rating
at competition, or a student receiving a scholarship to a college,
students continue to be recognized as leaders based on their athletic
and artistic excellence. As the spring approaches, even more winning
teams will proudly represent the school on and off the field.
Learners. Humanitarians. Leaders. We are Northwest.
