Class Partitioning

Noble High School's staff and students typically belong to one of three 'Academies': The system works similarly to that of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter novels, though there is no 'house points' system.

Each of the three Academies has approximately 400 students (About 1,200 total). Each Academy has a Freshman Team, a Sophomore Team, and a House. The House consists of Juniors and Seniors of that Academy. Students stay in the same Academy for all four years of high school.

All three Academies contribute to a single set of sports teams and clubs.
