Stratford Northwestern Secondary School is a Public High School and Middle school in Stratford, Ontario, Canada. It is one of three high schools in the Stratford area and one of two middle schools. ==General info== Stratford Northwestern school opened in 1963. Its 50th anniversary celebrations were held May 17-19, 2013. In September 2003, Grade 7 and 8 students began attending Stratford Northwestern Public School when Juliet Public School and King Lear Public School were closed. 〔(2004-5 Schools )〕 The school curriculum includes unique courses such as cosmetology, horticulture and culinary classes. The culinary class operates an in-school restaurant called The Screaming Avocado, which opened in 2004, where gourmet foods are prepared and served by students as a healthy, balanced alternative to the cafeteria food offered. The Screaming Avocado grows many of its own ingredients in the school's courtyard and greenhouse. The concept has been cited as a potential model for healthier school food practices at other schools.〔Kim Honey, ("An alternative to the school cafeteria" ), ''Toronto Star'', April 10, 2009.〕〔Danny Bradbury, ("Pace yourself: cooking up slow food in a fast food nation." ) ''Alternatives Journal'', August 1, 2006 〕 Food Network Canada featured a 13 episode series in 2007 called "Fink" which followed the adventures of the Northwestern Culinary Club's trip to Italy.
