Our History

North Whitfield was built as a high school in 1954. It now serves as a middle school to over 850 students. It has been renovated twice over the last 12 years.  E-Splost did pass in the last election.  Therefore, North Whitfield will be rebuilt a ways down Cleveland Highway near Edwards Park by 2021 .  We hope to expand our media center in this new building.
