Norwood High School

In 1910, voters approved a $275,000 bond issue to construct Norwood High School on seven and one-half acres of an old orchard on Sherman Avenue. Opened in 1914, the school offered standard educational classes as well as home economics, manual training, and commercial courses. Increased enrollment required additions of an east wing in 1924, a west wing in 1931, and a field house in 1927. The addition of a technical building in 1950 gave Norwood one of the first vocational education programs in the area. A source of community pride, the building has served as a high school, junior high school, and middle school.
