About Us

Welcome to Byron Northview!

We are the home of the Bobcats. Our school is on the site of one of the original schools for this area. We have a very active parent body who function as volunteers, School Council Members and Home and School members. Our students and staff benefit from this additional support. Our staff work very hard to ensure that every student has an opportunity to reach his or her academic potential.  

Our school motto is to always demonstrate "Courtesy and Respect."

In addition to our social and academic goals we also have extracurricular activities that include both sports and clubs. Students are also given regular opportunities to take on leadership roles in the school.

Together we can help every student achieve their goals!

In 1987, we celebrated the 150th Anniversary of the Byron Northview School site. Former students came from as far away as Australia and Africa to celebrate this significant event.
