High schools serving Novi families include **Novi High School** (Wildcats), **Detroit Catholic Central High School** (Shamrocks), **Novi Christian Academy** (Warriors). HERENovi covers every school board meeting, budget cycle, and academic milestone across Oakland. Novi's higher-education landscape includes 2 institutions: **Schoolcraft College**; **Oakland Community College — Orchard Ridge Campus**. HERENovi covers admissions deadlines, scholarship windows, athletic schedules, and campus announcements for each institution. MI's public-school governance flows through the **MI Department of Education**, which administers **MI READY** assessments each spring and enforces the **Read to Succeed Act** — requiring third-grade reading proficiency before promotion. The **Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA)** governs interscholastic athletics across the state. Teacher pay begins at the state minimum and is locally supplemented — making salaries a perennial flashpoint at budget hearings. HERENovi tracks school-board meetings across Oakland — agendas, votes, and budget summaries published before local papers. Our reporters cover graduation rates and **MI READY** scores; teacher-contract negotiations; school resource officers; SAT and ACT data; Title I funding allocations; building bond referenda; and the Friday Night Football calendar. From dual-enrollment windows at local technical colleges to faculty announcements at area universities — if it happens in a Novi classroom or on a Oakland campus, it is HERE.
