History

The previous high school opened in 1959. [7] With the substantial growth of the surrounding community, the district constructed a larger facility on Six Mile Road in Northville Township in 2000. [8] The previous building became Hillside Middle School. As the school district population has grown throughout the years, so has the high school. Two years after the construction of the new building, an extension to the east wing of the building was added. A cafeteria annex and a student fitness center have also been constructed.[ citation needed ] 2287 students were enrolled at the beginning of the 2012–13 school year. [2] In 2019, 80% of Hillside Middle School was demolished to build a new middle school building, which opened in fall 2021. [9] [10]

Originally a live show, the Northville News Network, a pre-recorded newscast, does announcements and school-wide news, along with other entertaining student-life segments. A YouTube channel was launched in 2022 so viewers outside of the school could watch.
