For me Norwood High School as provided a lot of opportunity. Not for just me, but for my family. I loved playing sports for my high school. It is a very good school where the staff members and administration tries their best to help their students. One of these is me and I am very grateful for going to Norwood High School.

The teachers are really personal and strive to make everyone feel confident in themselves as growing adults and as students. It's in a small city that is family oriented.

I'm a sophomore at Norwood High School. They offer great after school clubs and activities. They offer a wide range of sports for both males and females. They include the special education class in school events and allow them to attend class. The school has Homecoming and Prom. The school also offers Gear-up. The seniors at Norwood have a wife range of scholarships to apply for.
