History

Nova High School was established in 1960 as part of a joint project between the Broward County Public Schools and Ford Foundation

Ford Foundation

The Ford Foundation is a private foundation incorporated in Michigan and based in New York City created to fund programs that were chartered in 1936 by Edsel Ford and Henry Ford....

. Known as the Nova Educational Experiment, the project aimed to create a community of schools spanning elementary to university level education in one location. Forman Field, the site of a vacated naval aviation facility and located in the then rural areas of Broward County was chosen as the site for the project.

The Nova schools were originally jointly funded by the Ford Foundation and local sources, and were known for their progressive curricula and use of experimental teaching methods. Students were required to pass an entrance exam for acceptance and a lengthy waiting list often existed for potential students.

After the Nova Educational Experiment ended in the 1970s, the Ford Foundation departed and total control of the Nova schools reverted to the Broward County Public Schools. Entrance requirements were relaxed, however, as of 1985, placement on a waiting list for entry into the schools was still required.

During the 1980s, the schools' special status had begun to chafe within the workings of the school board. School board movements to close or consolidate the schools resulted in heated contention between parents, students and the board, often accompanied by noisy public meetings.

The Nova schools have consistently ranked at the very top of schools in the state. Nova High School was ranked as the 237th best public high school in the United States, 36th best in Florida, by Newsweek

Debate Team

The Nova High School debate team is one of the top ten largest teams in the United States, with its National Forensic League rating consistently wavering between fourth and sixth in the country. The team is also the largest and most winning team in the NFL Manatee District (the second biggest district in the country according to the February 2011 Rostrum Magazine), the most successful in Florida, and the top-ranked team in the Southeast United States. Nova is well-known for its sweepstakes wins at national tournaments like the Yale Invitational, the Glenbrooks Tournament in Chicago, the Emory Barkley Forum, the Harvard Invitational, and more; this is in addition to consistently winning first place overall at state and regional tournaments such as the University of Florida Blue Key Tournament, the Crestian Classic, the Sunvitational, and the Florida Forensic League Varsity State Tournament. The Nova High School debate team also has more invitees to the prestigious Montgomery Bell Academy Extemporaneous Speaking Round Robin than any other school (although it shares this distinction with Milton Academy and Newton South, both in Massachusetts). Invitees to the Extemp Round Robin included Rana Yared in 2001 and 2002, Adam Lessne in 2003, Josh Rovenger in 2005 and 2006, Ryan Pereira in 2009, and Jared Odessky in 2010 and 2011. Moreover, the performance of Nova High at the NFL National Tournament each June is evidently a testament to the team's national standing. The team has six National Champions since 2000: Jeff Hannan in Student Congress, Scott Jacobson in Student Congress, Matt Futch in Student Congress, Allison Pena in Extemp Commentary, and in 2011 - Jamaque Newberry in Dramatic Interpretation and Jared Odessky in US Extemporaneous Speaking.
