This year’s Annual Gala, ODDITIES & CURIOSITIES: A NIGHT CIRCUS, brought our community—parents, grandparents, alumni, advocates, faculty, staff, and friends—together to celebrate Northwest Academy! Together, with a matching grant from the Quest Foundation, our guests help us raise more than $275,000 in support of need-based student scholarships.

The success of this event is dependent on all of the people and businesses who support Northwest Academy. We would like to thank our guests, sponsors, donors, students, and volunteers for their generosity and support.

Even if you missed the gala, you can support our students at any time with a gift to the scholarship fund.
