Voting and Civic Engagement
Northwest ISD is striving to build a culture of engagement, including a culture of voting. The Northwest ISD Board of Trustees adopted a resolution to create and support a culture of voting in 2017, and we continue those efforts today as we strive to achieve District Goal 3. We encourage our students, staff, families, and community members to actively engage in the community and exercise their right to vote.
