Hijab Incident

In 2019 a student at a nearby Islamic school who played as part of Northview High School was disqualified from cross country regionals, after her coach failed to submit a waiver for her hijab, which was considered a uniform violation by district officials and defended by the Ohio High School Athletic Association. The incident attracted international attention, including a comment in support of the student from Elizabeth Warren.[10][11][12] The OHSAA later went on to change their uniform rules due to the backlash from this incident. [13]

Shrek Incident

In 2020, the school was placed on lockdown due to an unknown student threatening to 'blow up' the school. The police investigated the caller, and identified the caller as a Northview student. Police reports detail that the student wanted to watch the movie Shrek the Third, but could not as Northview is classified as a 'non-Shrek zone' under Rule B.2.17-3 of the Northview Code of Conduct.
