Norwood School History
The first Norwood School
students attended classes in a small building located where the present
school now stands. In 1893, this building was deemed inadequate and a
larger, two-story wooden structure was erected to accommodate eight
grades. The original schoolhouse was moved to Budlong Avenue, where it
has since served as a private residence.
The old wooden building housed the students of the Norwood area
until 1968 when it was torn down to make room for the present day
Norwood School, the brick building you see on our front page.
Norwood School now houses 323 students in grades pre-K through
six. There are thirteen classroom teachers and fifteen supporting staff
to serve our students. To encourage a renewed sense of school spirit,
the student body was named "The Norwood Knights" in 1996.
