ABOUT US

Norwayne High School is located in the Norwayne Local School District.  Serving the communities of Creston, Sterling and Burbank, Ohio, the Norwayne Local School District is located in Wayne County, 20 minutes north of Wooster.  You can locate us easily on a map by searching for the I-71/I-76 interchange in Northeast Ohio.  That area is the northwest corner of our school district.

Norwayne High School is the newly opened 9-12 building in the Norwayne Local School District.  The District also consists of Creston Middle School, serving grades 6-8 and a recently opened Norwayne Elementary School, serving grades pre K - 5.  Thanks to our wonderful community, we are in the process of completing a building project in conjunction with the OSFC (Ohio Schools Facility Commission) in which the current high school will be doubled serving grades 6-12.

Norwayne High School has a home student population of approximately 360 students.  There are approximately 60-90 students per year based in the Norwayne Local School District that either are engaged in a post-secondary format or attend classes at the Wayne County Schools Career Center. 

The mission of the Norwayne High School Bands is to establish a reputation not based on size, but on technique and ability.

Music education really builds the foundation to math and science skills.  It's been proven.  It's been on the cover of magazines (Newsweek, among others).  It's been on the evening news.  If there's ANY program that should be saved, it's the music program in your local public school.  It's as important as reading, writing and arithmetic.
