Students at Nova are a very special group. We are all about the same age, but there are many different kinds of people here. We come from 30 different schools around the area. At the beginning of the year, we don ' t know very many people, but by the end of the year, we have made a bunch of new friends. Nova is a unique school in that it contains all freshmen in the district. Students come to Nova from schools as close as Sequoia and Parsons and as far away as Indian Springs. Most students enjoy Nova because of the wide variety of activities there are to become involved in. The class of 1990 is one of the best that Nova has ever seen. We have the best athletes, the best grades, and the best self-discipline. The things we did this year have affected and changed Nova in many positive ways. 1.
