Northville High School is the public high school of Northville Public Schools located in Northville Charter Township, Michigan, [3] with a Northville postal address.

Contents

Within Wayne County the school serves most of Northville Township and the county's portion of Northville. [4] Within Oakland County the school serves that county's portion of Northville, as well as Novi Township, the southwestern part of the city of Novi, and a southeastern part of Lyon Charter Township. [5] Within Washtenaw County it serves a small part of Salem Township. [6]

History

The school opened in 1959. As the school district population has grown throughout the years, so has the high school. 2287 students were enrolled at the beginning of the 2012–13 school year. [2] The high school used to be located in the city of Northville itself, now the reconstructed building on that site serves as one of two middle schools within the Northville Public Schools District. With the substantial growth of the surrounding community, the district constructed a larger facility on Six Mile Road in Northville Township, south of the city—through the mailing address still says Northville. The previous building became Hillside Middle 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. In 2019, 80% of Hillside was demolished to build a new middle school building.
