About

edit

In 1984, the high schools located in Brazil, Staunton, and Van Buren were consolidated to create Northview High School. The student body of these schools selected the name "Northview" as well as their mascot, "Knights" and school colors: Silver, Maroon and Black. Northview has 1,194 students. Its athletic teams play in the Western Indiana Conference.

The school's nickname is "The Castle in the Cornfield" due to it being located near many cornfields.

The school has an extensive list of athletic extracurriculars including cross country, golf, volleyball, baseball, football, basketball, and bowling. The school won the Indiana Baseball 3A state championship in 2016. They were also named the Indiana Volleyball 3A State Runners-Up in 2018. The cross country team has had a variety of sectional wins, as well as multiple runners qualifying for State Championships throughout the years.
