Dothan High School is a public co-educational institution located in Dothan, Alabama, serving grades 10 through 12. Established in 1978, the school is part of the Dothan City Schools district and serves as the 36th-largest high school student population in the state.

History

The school has a rich history, particularly in its sports achievements, with notable success in football with state titles, during the 1980s.

Athletics

The school colors are cardinal and Vegas gold; their mascot is a wolf. The school includes football, baseball, basketball, softball, soccer, track, tennis, golf, cross-country, and volleyball.

Football

Northview is part of an active traditional football rivalry with Crosstown Dothan High School. This was highlighted in a commencement speech First Lady Laura Bush gave at nearby Enterprise High School on May 31, 2008, when she mentioned Northview and Dothan as significant victories for Enterprise.

In 2002, former University of Alabama head football coach Mike DuBose took over as head football coach at Northview High School. He had previously been named Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year for the Crimson Tide before poor seasons and personal controversy caused his firing in 2000. Dothan City school board members voted to hire DuBose, who came in with a wave of publicity and high expectations. However, the Cougars finished with a 0–10 record for the season and DuBose was gone at the end of the year.

This was part of a tumultuous period for Northview football, which saw 39 consecutive losses from 2000 to 2004. The team had won the Alabama State Playoff Championships in both 1981 and 1985, and made it to the playoffs five times during the 1990s.
