History

Northwestern was created in 1951 from a merger of the school districts in Chester Township, Congress, and West Salem. The school name came from the district's northwestern location within Wayne County. Chester basketball coach Roy Bates chose the school colors of blue and gray, which were a combination of the basketball uniforms of Chester, which were blue, and Congress, which were gray. Bates would also become the first basketball coach at Northwestern. Bates chose the nickname of "Huskies". [2]
