A 1927 outlook for 2011.
For more than 20 years many of us may have stepped obliviously over the little placard when entering the main doors of Nova High School but one cannot now think of much better advice for living a life well; Truth - Liberty - Toleration.
For the ninth grade Shasta County youth from varying economic, social and cultural backgrounds were gathered into one school in a seemingly massive adolescent social experiment.
Besides lessons learned, many acquaintances were made and friendships forged. For some these relationships fueled later academic and athletic rivalries upon moving on to Shasta, Enterprise or Central Valley High School the next year. For some teens that year at Nova made future sporting events, trips to the mall, invites to house parties and keggers all mini reunion of sorts. Seemed as if you always knew someone where ever you went. You never felt alone or out of place as Nova, by assembling such a high number into one place, increased the odds of connecting with someone similar. Nova made a seemingly large city small and introduced the willing to different points of view that hopefully prepared them for life today.
Good and bad exists everywhere and Nova was no exception in regards to memories. Our reunion will give you a chance to relive them all and provide you a chance to reunite with friends and seek redemption from enemies. As we age we hopefully learn life is too short and regret too severe to not reach out to others. A life as well as a building dedicated to Truth, Liberty and Toleration can only stand the tests of time.
Thank you Faculty, Administration and Staff of Nova.
