School Notes:
  • Olathe Northwest High School (ONW) is one of four high schools in the Olathe School District, located in Olathe, Kansas at 21300 College Blvd. The school opened its doors in 2003, after a long anticipation. It is one of the largest and most technologically progressive schools in the United States. The school mascot is a raven (much like the Baltimore Ravens of the NFL), and the colors are black and blue. When Olathe began the 21st century programs, Northwest began teaching e-communication, and Aerospace and Engineering. It is the only school in the district to support A&E (Aerospace and Engineering).
  • Olathe Northwest recently became completely "wireless" by allowing students to access the internet using Wi-Fi on Tungsten TX (handheld), which the school issues to students at the beginning of the year.
  • School Technology: Olathe Northwest is the District “pioneer” for technology in schools. The school currently issues students palm pilots. When the school first opened, students were issued an M515 model palm. After three years of use, those palms were deemed obsolete, and the districted upgraded the school to the Tungsten T
  • X. The palms have many uses in school activities. For instance, the English department uses them mainly for reading books, and typing essays. Students can type notes one what the teachers lecture as well. The T
  • X also offers Wi-Fi, which students can now do research and much more form their desks. The school also uses ceiling mounted projectors and smart boards for classroom presentations Soon the school will have a new program for students to upload documents and tests to there PDA via the push of a button and there Wi-Fi connection.
