Norris High School was created in 1965.  It was the result of consolidation of the Cortland, Firth, Hickman, Roca and Panama school districts.  In 1969 a new elementary building was completed on 160 acres the newly formed District had purchased at 68th  and Princeton Road.  The Junior/Senior High School was completed and ready for occupancy in February 1970.  Since that time the District has seen constant growth which has resulted in seven expansions.  The campus now includes three separate buildings for elementary, middle school and high school students as well as an all-weather track, football field, softball complex cross-country course, greenhouse and soccer field.  The District recently purchased an additional 120 acres across 68th Street for future expansion.

The Alumni Association established the Norris High School Hall of Fame to honor and celebrate distinguished Alumni.  Selection for the induction into the Hall of Fame is based on professional and personal accomplishments, community service, and/or special or unique situations, which qualify a graduate as being distinguished.  In addition, criteria for selection of inductees may include a single meritorious contribution to society or a lifetime career of superior accomplishment. Eligible alumni must have graduated 15 years prior to being nominated.  Any two individuals may make nominations.  There are no formal nominating documents; however, both nominators must sign a nomination.  As much evidence as possible that the nominee is deserving of the Hall of Fame status should be provided.

Nominations to be considered shall be received prior to July 15 of each year.  The induction selection process will be conducted by the Board of Directors.  Unconfirmed nominations will be held for future consideration for  a period of three years.  An induction ceremony will be held during the month of November.  Nominations may be submitted to:  Norris Alumni Association, P.O. Box 63, Hickman, NE 68372
