History of Norwood High School
In 1889 the town’s first high school was built, located on a hill at the corner of Beacon and Bullard Streets, behind the Morrill Memorial Library. The high school building later became an elementary school named The Beacon School.
In 1919, a combined junior – senior high school was completed on Washington Street. Within five years, despite an addition, the school was overcrowded and plans were made for a separate high school.
In 1926 Norwood Senior High School was completed on 245 Nichols Street. The old high school included numerous additions and the former Henry O. Peabody School.
The present Norwood High School opened in September of 2011 and was built directly behind the old high school.
