History
North Nova Education Centre officially opened on November 24, 2003. The school's colours are light blue, navy blue and white, with the mascot being the Gryphon. The gryphon was comprised to represent the mascots of the four schools which amalgamated to form North Nova Education Centre. The Gryphon has the Sword of the Trojan (Trenton High School), the body of the Panther (New Glasgow High School) and the wings and the head of a Blue Eagle (East Pictou Rural High School) nothing was included from Thorburn since it is not considered a traditional high school(Thorburn Consolidated School)
The school is built in a ring design, around a large central courtyard. Sections of the school, or "pods", are organized by course.
