School Notes:
  • Miami Norland Senior High School is a secondary school located at 1050 NW 195th St in the Norwood neighborhood of Miami Gardens, Florida.
  • Miami Norland's colors are maroon and gray. The school mascot is the Viking. Prior to the erection of near-by Michael Krop Senior High, Norland was the northernmost school in Dade County. The school's name reflects this geographical fact.
  • History: In 1998, the school was rocked by a student riot that was featured on major news networks such as CNN and Fox News. The incident was supposed to be a student protest against strict administrative changes such as student newspaper limitations and an off-campus lunch ban. The event became disorganized and eventually resulted in outright student rebellion. As a result of the incident, Principal Carroll Williams was fired. Mr. Turner, the new school principal, was welcomed with great fanfare. He has since also left the school. Today, Dr. Soffian, who has been dedicated to bettering Norland for many decades, leads the school.
  • Despite the turmoil, Norland alumni continue to thrive. Many of them have attended state universities such as the University of Florida, Florida A&M University, Florida International University, University of Miami, Florida State University and more. Some of them have attended Ivy League institutions such as Princeton, Harvard, and Brown. Others are aspiring actresses and musicians. You may even find that some alumni are professional athletes, especially since Norland won the 2002 Florida 6A Football Championship.
  • Cultures: Norland is a culturally-rich school. Students embrace many heritages, including African-American, Jamaican, Trinidadian, Haitian, Bahamian, Creole Nicaraguan, Dominican, and Puerto Rican.
  • Famous Guests: Rev. Jesse Jackson visited Norland on February 1, 2007.
  • Famous Alumni: Antwan Barnes - Baltimore Raven's 4th round selection in 2007 NFL Draft.
  • JT Money rapper.
  • Randy Shannon head coach of the University of Miami Football team.
  • Dwayne Bowe LSU wide receiver, highly anticipated 2007 NFL Draft Prospect.
  • Greg Moss professional football player.
