Norseman Junior Middle School, located in the west end of the city, proudly opened its doors to students from Kindergarten to Grade 6 in January 1953. From 1968 to 1981, it became the middle school for the area with Grades 6, 7 and 8. Since 1981, Norseman has served students from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8.
We believe that everyone has a responsibility to maintain a safe school environment. We encourage students to take an active role in problem solving through a positive and co-operative attitude. Respect and understanding for both ourselves and others builds the foundation for self-worth and self-discipline. We value the unique contributions of all members of our school community and are dedicated to building positive relationships.
