Novi High School (commonly Novi or NHS) is a public secondary school in Novi, Michigan, United States in Greater Detroit, serving students in grades 9–12. It is operated by Novi Community School District and was awarded Blue Ribbon School status in 1986-87 and 1999-00. Novi high school currently enrolls 2,020 students and has a 200 strong faculty.
In addition to its primary purpose, Novi High School also houses adult education and various community recreational events, such as open swim in the swimming pool and basketball games in the gym and fieldhouse. The high school has been the venue for numerous competitions including state band festival and regional football, tennis, soccer, and volleyball matches.
Novi High School was first opened in 1968 and graduated its first class in 1969. Prior to 1968, high school students from the Novi district attended Northville schools. The high school started out in a rural community that saw a tremendous amount of growth between the late 1960s to the early 2000s, and subsequently, the growth of the school. The massive influx of students from the 1980s to today led to several renovations and expansions of the high school.
The first high school was located in the current Novi Meadows school at Taft and 11 Mile Roads which was built in 1964. This building was known as Novi Junior High School from 1964 until 1968 and opened to students in the fall of 1968. Explosive growth began in Novi during the 1970s and the district quickly outgrew the old high school, forcing the district to build the current high school which opened in the Fall of 1977. The current school was built on a portion of the Fuerst family farm.
