Miami Norland Senior High School is a secondary school located at 1050 NW 195th St in the Norwood neighborhood of Miami Gardens, Florida, USA.Miami Norland's colors are maroon and gray. The school mascot is the Vikings. Prior to the erection of nearby Dr. Michael Krop Senior High, Norland was the northernmost school in Dade County. The school's name reflects this fact.
History
Miami Norland opened its doors to students in 1958 taking in three hundred fifty students which included students in grades 7-12. Once Norland Junior High School opened across the street, grades 7-9 moved there. Miami Norland continued to have three grade levels (10th, 11th and 12th) until 1985 when grade 9 was added. Even in Florida's oppressive heat, there was no Air Conditioning at the school until the late 1970s. The first principal of Miami Norland was Mr. Foster Hunter who guided the school from inception into the mid-1970’s. For more than a decade Miami Norland Senior High School was an all white school, this changed in 1969 when all schools in Dade County were court-ordered to desegregate.
The original buildings of Miami Norland still remain. These original buildings include the first two main wings, cafeteria, wood shop, metal lab, art wing, auditorium, band room, annex, and chorus room.In 1964, a library wing was the first addition to the school giving Miami Norland one of the largest libraries in Miami-Dade County Public Schools. The main office was remodeled and a science wing was added in 1996. A new gymnasium was added in the year 2006, the old gym was converted to a two-story classroom building including a dance studio allowing the school to add a dance program to their academy programs. The school now offers an Academy of Fine Arts, Hospitality and Tourism and Teaching magnet programs.
