Northwestern Lehigh School District is a public school district in northwest Lehigh County, Pennsylvania in the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania. It serves Heidelberg, Lowhill, Lynn, and Weisenberg Townships.
As of the 2020-21 school year, the district had an enrollment of 1,974 students between its four schools, according to National Center for Education Statistics data. It has two elementary schools, Weisenberg Elementary and Northwestern Lehigh Elementary, one middle school, and one high school, Northwestern Lehigh High School in New Tripoli. All schools offer gifted programs and special education programs.
In 2004–2005, the Northwestern Lehigh School District completed a Facility Master Plan (FMP) to analyze and document the status of all District facilities. The purpose of the FMP was to determine the extent, priority, and estimated costs of much needed facility repairs. Based on this study, the district engaged the help of many employees and community members to prioritize the needed repairs, renovations, and construction, and align this work with District resources.
The mascot is the Tiger and their school colors are black and gold. The high school is known colloquially as "Corncob High", a reflection of the surrounding farmland.
