Extracurricular Activities
The extracurricular activities offered at Novi High School are many and varied due to the school's large size. There are chapters of national organizations, such as the National Honor Society, and clubs founded by Novi students, such as Chess Club. The majority of clubs have a primarily social or recreational purpose, but some are academically-inclined, such as quiz bowl and math club. The usual range of athletic and music organizations are there for students to join, in addition to Novi's other clubs. The school also organizes several annual school plays and musical.
Novi High School teams currently compete in Division I, the division designated for the largest schools. Originally founded in 1963, Novi became a member of the Southeastern Conference in 1980. In 1982, Novi joined the Kensington Valley Conference. Since 2008, Novi has participated in the newly formed Kensington Lakes Activities Association, a merger of the current KVC and Western Lakes Activities Association along with some other schools, in the majority of interscholastic sports and activities although some, notably the robotics, drumline, and quiz bowl teams, compete either independently or in other leagues.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“The most remarkable aspect of the transition we are living through is not so much the passage from want to affluence as the passage from labor to leisure.... Leisure contains the future, it is the new horizon.... The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness.”
—Henri Lefebvre (b. 1901)
