NORWOOD SCHOOLS

The Allison Elementary building was constructed in 1896 at 4300 Allison Ave. In 1901 the school opened a high school (building on right) in an old building that was already on the property. In 1914 the elementary school took over the high school for extra classroom space when the high school moved into a new building on Sherman Ave. (see below). The old house burned in 1917 and so a new 12-room structure was built for the elementary school.

The North Norwood Elementary school was built in 1891 at the corner of Marion and Highland Aves. The new fireproof structure seen in the cards below was erected in 1915 and went by the name of Marion Street School. The first card says it is the Williams Ave. School although it was actually the Marion School. In 1981 the girls only Marion H.S. merged with the boys only Purcell school in 1981-82 and was renamed Purcell Marion H.S.
The building now houses the Hamilton County Educational Service Center.

This is the first schoolhouse in Norwood and was located at Main and Elm Avenues.

The original Central School

The Sharpsburg Elementary School was built in 1910 to replace the Central School above. It was the first school in Norwood to have a cafeteria installed in 1919. The building is now home to the Norwood Service League, Head Start, and a childcare program. It was named Sharpsburg after the original name of the Norwood village.
