Teaching and Learning
Northville Public Schools is consistently recognized at both the state and national level for our tradition of outstanding academic excellence. Our MEAP
scores are often in the top five in the entire
State of Michigan and Northville High School graduates consistently are some of the top scholarship earners in all of Michigan and our graduates go on to study in some of the most prestigious universities in the world. This outstanding heritage of student achievement is the result of a multitude of efforts put forward by the students, staff, and parents of Northville.
Our quest for academic excellence begins in
our Early Childhood Center
program. In the fall of 2006, approximately one
thousand three and four
year-old children participated. With this
programming, we believe
Northville Public Schools gives its students the
very best start in
preparing for a lifetime of learning. For

Our K-12 curriculum has the reputation for delivering in the core academic standards necessary to support a high degree of student achievement in areas such as math, science, language arts, and social studies. Our curriculum offers both breadth and depth of understanding and offers clearly articulated K-12 connections. At Northville we also believe that experiences in art, music, and physical education and extra-curricular activities help make for a much more well-balanced student learning experience. Therefore, we are proud to offer one of the richest and most diverse program offerings in the entire State of Michigan.
The Office of Instruction is proud to
support this process with Northville Public
Schools. We partner very closely with the
Northville parents and community and enjoy a
number of corporate sponsors as well—all coming
together with the outcome of supporting students
in the classroom. The Office of Instruction is
led by Assistant Superintendent Mary Kay
Gallagher. Our Curriculum Facilitator is Ms.
Janice Henderson, who also serves as our ALPS
facilitator; and Ms. Jan Purtell is our
Education Partnerships Facilitator.
The Office of Instruction is located in the administration building at 501 W. Main Street, Northville, Michigan. In addition to supporting all of the testing, accreditation, curriculum, and materials efforts with Northville Public Schools, the Office of Instruction supports state-of-the-art training and professional development for its teachers to ensure that all of our staff have the very best tools possible to provide the best learning experience for the students of Northville Public Schools.
