Construction updates:

The Northfield High School Reimagine project has begun in earnest, and regular construction updates will be provided in district and building newsletters and on this webpage.

The map below shows overall parking on the Northfield High School campus, and highlights the parent pick up and drop off route, as well as designated parking for students and staff. It also highlights handicap accessible and visitor parking locations.

The map below highlights the new student parking lot and traffic flow for parent drop off and pick up.

Students parking in the new Memorial Field parking lot will need to enter/exit through Door 10 before, during, and after school.
