Nouvel Catholic Central High School is a private, Catholic high school located in Saginaw Charter Township, Michigan and serving the Saginaw region. Nouvel is a high school that enrolls approximately 150 students. The school was formed in 1984 as a consolidation of the three then-remaining Saginaw area Catholic high schools, Saints Peter and Paul, Saint Stephen's, and Saint Mary's Cathedral High Schools.

Prior to the existence of Nouvel Catholic Central High School and Saints Peter and Paul Area High School, the school building, which also houses the offices of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saginaw, was the Saint Paul Seminary. That name is still inscribed in marble above the front door of Nouvel High School.

The school is named for Father Henri Nouvel, a 17th-century French Jesuit missionary who is locally recognized as the first European to have visited the Saginaw River Valley region. A monument recognizing Fr. Nouvel and his contributions sits on Ojibway Island in the City of Saginaw, and a local council of the Knights of Columbus established in Father Nouvel's honor has their main hall located near the school.

The Nouvel Panthers compete as members of the Tri-Valley Conference West Division during the regular season. Although the school has enjoyed a fair amount of athletic success, the 2006–2007 school year was arguably the school's most notable in athletic achievement. The Nouvel Football and Girls Basketball teams won State Championships, and in doing so became the first school in MHSAA history to have both teams go undefeated in the same season.[2][3] The same year, Nouvel finished as State Runner-Up in Boys Basketball and a State Semifinalist in Baseball.[4][5]

In the record-breaking 2007-2008 year:
The Nouvel Varsity Pom Pon team won their very first Class C State Title.[6]
The Nouvel boys won a second straight MHSAA Division 6 state championship in football.[2]
The Nouvel Girls Varsity Basketball team also won back to back state championships in Class C.[3] This marks the first time in Michigan High School sports history that a school's boys football team and girls basketball team have won state titles in consecutive years.

In 2009, Jenny Ryan was named Miss Basketball,[7] this marks the first time in MHSAA history that two people from the same school were named Miss Basketball. Danielle Kamm was named Miss Basketball in 2002 - 2003 season.[8]

In 2011, the Nouvel Boys Varsity football team repeated as State Champions for a third time, winning the Division 7 title in a 56–26 victory.[2] The Panthers set a state record for most points scored in a state finals football game. Running back Bennett Lewis tied the state record for scoring, with five touchdowns to his credit in the game.[9]

In 2013, the Nouvel Varsity Pom Pon team won their second Class C State Title.[6]

Blair White, a stand-out wide receiver for the Panthers from 2000 to 2004, signed with the Indianapolis Colts following the 2010 NFL draft. White was a walk-on at Michigan State University and was named the Big Ten Wide Receiver of the Year in 2010.
