Norris High School Alumni Association
Established in 2000
Dedicated to the Norris School District #160
Firth, NE
Consolidated in 1965

Welcome

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.
