Northville High School is the public high school of Northville Public Schools that serves the city of Northville, Michigan, the larger Northville Township, Novi Township and the southern part of the city of Novi.
The school opened in 1959. As the school district population has grown throughout the years, so has the high school. 2,266 students were enrolled at the beginning of the 2010–11 school year. The high school used to be located in the city of Northville itself. 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--though the mailing address still says Northville. The previous building became Hillside Middle School. Two years after construction of the new building, an extension to the east wing of the building was added. On October 7, 2009, the school was evacuated due to a bomb threat received over phone. In addition, another weapon scare took place on January 20, 2011, causing a lockdown and SWAT team involvement. This weapon scare also caused shelter in place precautions at the other Northville Public Schools.

Famous quotes containing the words high school, high and/or school:
“Young people of high school age can actually feel themselves changing. Progress is almost tangible. It’s exciting. It stimulates more progress. Nevertheless, growth is not constant and smooth. Erik Erikson quotes an aphorism to describe the formless forming of it. “I ain’t what I ought to be. I ain’t what I’m going to be, but I’m not what I was.””
—Stella Chess (20th century)
“Nature never rhymes her children, nor makes two men alike. When we see a great man, we fancy a resemblance to some historical person, and predict the sequel of his character and fortune, a result which he is sure to disappoint. None will ever solve the problem of his character according to our prejudice, but only in his high unprecedented way.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A monarch, when good, is entitled to the consideration which we accord to a pirate who keeps Sunday School between crimes; when bad, he is entitled to none at all.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
