Norway–Vulcan Area Schools is a school district serving Norway and Waucedah townships in Dickinson County and Faithorn in Menominee County all located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
The school district was formed in 1964 following the consolidation of Norway City Schools, Norway Township, Waucedah Township and Faithorn. The first public school in Norway was opened in 1879 with classes held in a carpenter shop owned by the Menominee Range Mining Company. The modern kindergarten through 12th grade campus is nestled between neighborhoods, forests and lakes. The Norway–Vulcan Area Schools serves roughly 300-400 students on its 30-acre (12 ha) campus in the city of Norway.[2] The facility, constructed in 1991 with additions in 1993 and 2000, comprises three wings each housing a different school (elementary, middle, and high school). At the core of the building is three gymnasiums, the media center and the 684-seat Norway Fine Arts Center.
