Max Sarkowsky '16
"Hi, my name is Max Sarkowsky. I graduated from Northwest in 2016 and I am a freelance designer for the performing arts. I loved the artistic culture at Northwest. From the hall guitars to the time committed to arts classes and even the way humanities, math and science all incorporate artistic assignments into their curriculums, it really showed me that the arts are important beyond entertainment, and that art can enrich all parts of the human experience."
Keelen Chen '23
"Hi, my name is Keelen Chen! I graduated from Northwest in 2023. Currently, I’m a first-year student at Sciences Po France majoring in Political Science and Economics. I loved Northwest for its sense of family! Unlike conventional learning methods that value self-directed study and individual competition, Northwest focused on creating a positive, encouraging environment for students to learn and bond as a community."
