Northmont High School is part of Northmont City Schools. The school is located in Clayton, Ohio, and serves 1702 students from the communities of northern Montgomery County, including Clayton, Englewood, Phillipsburg, and Union.
The school's mascot is the Thunderbolt, but its student populace are more colloquially known as the T-Bolts or just the Bolts. This moniker was unintentionally gained from a basketball commentator in the school system's early years (circa 1960s), who, while watching the high school boys' team racing back and forth across the court, exclaimed that they zipping back and forth like "thunderbolts."
The Northmont High School's curriculum offers 13 Advanced Placement courses in science (AP Biology, AP Chemistry), mathematics (AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, AP Statistics), social studies (AP United States History, AP United States Government and Politics, AP Human Geography), language arts (AP English Language and Composition, AP Literature and Composition), and the visual/performing arts (AP Music Theory, AP Studio Art: Drawing). Northmont also provides several honors and College Credit Plus courses.
A 5.9 mills levy was placed on the November 8, 2011 ballot to construct a new early learning center and new high school, as well as making improvements to the other buildings in the district. It passed with a 53% yes vote. Construction on the new building began in late 2012 with the relocation of the tennis courts, softball diamonds, and band rehearsal field. The only part of the current building that will remain is the school's auditorium, constructed in 1987, which must be brought up to code with the new building. Construction was completed and opened to students January 11th, 2016.
Northmont NJROTC has won the Area Championships in the last four years straight and has made 9 appearances to Navy Nationals in Pensacola, Florida, including a 10th-place finish in 2010, an 8th-place finish 2011, a 6th-place finish in 2012 and a 9th-place finish in 2016. The NJROTC program has also earned the distinguished Unit award for the last 9 years and academic honors in 7 of those 9 years.
The Northmont Marching Band has previously been a finalist at the Bands of America Grand National Championships and received Grand-Champions for the MSBA Championships in 2009, 2010, and 2012 in the AAAA Division.
