community in the northwestern corner of Fulton County, Northwestern Middle School (NMS)
was established in 1996. Named for Northwestern Elementary School, which served area
residents from 1933 until its closing in 1992. the newest Northwestern opened with a sense
of tradition as well as a vision toward the future. The
school serves sixth, seventh and eighth grades who live in the communities of Roswell,
Alpharetta, and unincorporated areas of north Fulton County. The school was designed for a
capacity of 1325 and it opened with 1282 students. Now, into its twelfth
year of operation, the student body in September 2006 totaled approximately
1235 students.
The school has four academic wings, two exploratory wings, media
center, gymnasium with a stage, cafeteria, administrative and student
support service areas, and five computer labs which can be used by the
teachers for their classes. Natural light filters
through the atrium areas on each connecting hallway, creating a bright
atmosphere for learning.
