Olathe Northwest High School
Home

Olathe Northwest High School is the newest of the four Olathe high schools, located at the corner of College Boulevard and Lone Elm Road - just southeast of the intersection of highways K-10 and K-7. (Map)

ONW opened its doors in Fall of 2003 to students of northwest Olathe, as well as students transferring here to participate in one of our two new 21st Century programs, Aerospace & Engineering and e-Communication. ONW also continues to be a pilot school for innovative use of the Palm handheld technology in the classroom.
