At Northfield High School, belonging is more than a value; it is a commitment we make to every student who walks through our doors.
As we recognize Transgender Awareness Week, we reaffirm our responsibility to create a school community where every student feels safe, valued, respected, and supported.
Our priority will always be to support the physical, emotional, and social development of every child we serve, including our transgender and gender-nonconforming students. Every young person deserves to learn, grow, and be themselves in an environment where they experience dignity, care, and a genuine sense of belonging.
This week is an opportunity to listen, learn, and reflect on how our words and actions contribute to the experiences of others. We all play a role in building a community where differences are respected, relationships are strengthened, and every student knows they matter.
At Northfield, every student belongs.

What an unforgettable weekend for Nighthawk Ultimate at the Mixed State Championships! Across 12 intense games, 41 of our athletes took to the field and left it all out there.
Our JV Nighthawks are Mixed DII State Champions after a thrilling 9-8 victory over the Arapahoe Warriors, securing their second DII state title.
With this win, JV is now ranked 9th overall in the state—making them the only JV squad in Colorado to crack the top 25!
Also competitive, our Varsity team battled all the way to the Mixed DI Championship game, taking East to the wire in a high-stakes 12-11 finish to earn DI State Runner-Up honors.
Congratulations to both teams on a legendary postseason run! You can check out full scores, stats, and tournament brackets at the 2026 Colorado High School Mixed State Championships.
Congratulations to our eight student-athletes who officially signed to continue their athletic careers in Women’s Lacrosse, Women’s Volleyball, Soccer, Baseball, and Dive!

Thank you to the families, coaches, and teammates who came together to celebrate this milestone—it was a great day for our entire community.

The Colorado High School Water Polo League recently wrapped up its fall season, with the young, underclassman-heavy Denver Public Schools team finishing with a 6–10 record.
Northfield was well-represented on the roster, with significant contributions from Page Mallon and Nora Tryggstaad (pictured), as well as Lucy Hartman (not pictured), who was sidelined this season following wrist surgery.
Interested in Joining? Water polo is a fall club sport open to students from any DPS boundary school. Students interested in playing next season—especially those with a swimming background—can reach out to Coach Sean Tierney for more information.
We are thrilled to revive this tradition to honor the extraordinary coaches, leaders, administrators and educators who poured their heart into building our athletic programs.
