Northwood High School (North Carolina)

Northwood High School is located in Pittsboro, Chatham County, North Carolina, United States. The school is the largest of three high schools in Chatham County and is operated by Chatham County Schools. The school's mascot is the Charger and the school colors are gold and green. It is a member of the Big Eight 3A Athletic Conference. It currently serves around 1,024 students. The school receives students primarily from the eastern and northeastern portions of the county, which coincidentally are the fastest growing parts of the county.

Northwood High School opened in time for the 1972-1973 school year to replace the older Pittsboro High School which is now the headquarters of Chatham County Schools. The school was opened two school years after school integration (schools were not fully integrated in Chatham County until the 1970-1971 school year) as a way of consolidating black and white students into a larger facility than available at Pittsboro High. The school building has changed little since its opening with the exception of a new math wing and modular classrooms. A green steel roof was added during the 2000-2001 school year. During the 2009-2010 school year the arts wing was remodeled and expanded and the gymnasium was renovated.

One swimmer won the state 1A/2A title for 100 Breaststroke and finished 3rd in the 50 Free. The team has since grown to eleven members in the 2012-2013 season, the largest in the school's history.

The school's Ultimate Frisbee team took first in State during their 2006-2007 season. It since has yet to be reestablished as of 2012.
