[edit] History

During the 1990's, the Escambia County School District decided to merge two existing 1A high schools (Century High School and Ernest Ward High School) in northern Escambia Florida into one 2A School. Construction was started on Northview in 1994 and finished in 1996. In 1995, incoming High School and Middle School students from Carver Middle School and Ernest Ward Middle School were asked to cast a ballot for their new school's mascot. The mascot selected was a Chief and the colors were garnet and gold. The colors were chosen as a homage to the Florida State Seminoles, as the school's football helmets are embellished with a spear, as well as the color scheme selected by the ballots cast.
