As a result of the community’s support of the 2016 and 2020 referenda which directed funds toward improving facilities and infrastructure district-wide, the new Northview Middle School located at 9020 N. College Ave. will come to life with students this Thursday when they enter the building for the first time on Washington Township’s first day of school.
Thanks to the support of the locally elected Washington Township School Board, the District’s leadership was able to implement a successful Supplier Diversity Program during the extensive construction season that has touched every building in the District and built two new Elementary schools, Northview Middle School, an Early Learning Center, and the Paul Loggan Field House. As a result of this supplier diversity program, Washington Township has partnered with firms owned by women, minorities, veterans, and the physically challenged producing over $100M in Contracts with those companies.
