Normandy High School (commonly Normandy or NHS) is a public high school in Parma, Ohio, United States, serving students in grades 8–12. The school is part of the Parma City School District, with admission based primarily on the locations of students' homes. Established in 1968, Normandy is located approximately three miles west of Interstate 77 on West Pleasant Valley Road.[2] In the 2005-06 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,283 students and 77.9 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student-teacher ratio of 16.5.[3]

School information

Normandy offers a college preparatory curriculum. There are accelerated course offerings in all the academic areas. In addition to a full range of academic courses, many vocational education programs are available to students at Normandy or at Parma City School's other two high schools, Valley Forge and Parma Senior High. Twenty-one credits minimum used to be required for graduation. However, since the failure of the levy, it has been reduced to 20. More math, social studies, computer literacy and science courses are part of this requirement. The school colors are orange and white. The school is a member of the Northeast Ohio Conference. Normandy's corresponding middle school is Hillside, home of the Tigers whose colors are blue and white.[2]
