Northville Chamber of Commerce recently issued the following announcement.
Event Description:
You are cordially invited to join Northville Public Schools as we celebrate the launching of the newly renovated and redesigned Hillside Middle School with a Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony and Community Open House on Thursday, September 30, 2021 from 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm. We are excited to showcase our new learning spaces, and invite you to experience Hillside’s transformation that is the result of our community’s generous support of Bond 2017! The Ribbon-Cutting ceremony will take place outdoors at 6:00 p.m., followed by an Open House featuring small group tours led by Hillside student docents from 6:20 – 7:30 p.m.
Located at 775 N. Center Street, the school originally opened as Northville High School in 1959, and was home to the Northville Mustangs until 2000, when the high school moved to its current location on Six Mile Road. Hillside Middle School was launched in 2000, encompassing students from the former Cooke Middle School. Funded by Bond 2017, the redesign of the 62-year-old school included the major addition of a new academic wing, renovation of a portion of the existing building, and demolition of the remaining portion of the former facility to make way for parking and green spaces. The school features flexible, modern learning spaces designed for middle school students, satellite classrooms that are a part of the Cooke Center program, and spaces designed for shared use by the Northville Community Parks and Recreation program.
Visitors to the Open House will have the opportunity to participate in student-led small group tours that will kick-off from the cafetorium, and include views of classrooms, the media center, fine and performing arts spaces, science labs, flexible collaborative spaces and the amazing views overlooking our Northville community.
The Hillside Middle School construction and renovation project was part of the second and third phases of a $104.85 million, multi-year Bond 2017 construction and program initiative generously approved by voters in November, 2017 that has touched every learner and every school across Northville Public Schools!
We could not have done this without the support of our community. We hope you can join us as we celebrate the rebirth of Hillside Middle School!
