Norway Vulcan Area Schools is a public school district in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. In Dickinson County, it serves Norway, Norway Township, and Waucedah Township.[4] In Menominee County, it serves Faithorn Township.[5]

History

The first public school in Norway opened in 1879, with classes held in a carpenter shop owned by the Menominee Range Mining Company. A series of schools was then built, including the Norway High School/Central School in 1892, and the second Norway High School (on the site of the current Norway-Vulcan School), built in 1906. It burned down on April 29, 1912 and was rebuilt that same year.[6]

In Vulcan, the first school was established in 1877. The first dedicated school was built in 1879. A high school was built in 1909, and a grade school addition was added in 1927.[6]

The Norway and Vulcan school districts merged in 1964. When the current school was built in 1991, the 1912 high school building was torn down.[6]
