Band and Chorus perennially win Division 1 ratings and lead an outstanding arts program. Alumni Brandon Routh (Superman), Jason Momoa (Aquaman/Game of Thrones), Joel Hanrahan (baseball All- Star) and thousands of other successful graduates make positive contributions to their community, state and nation.

The community supports bond issues and participates actively in planning. This cooperative spirit resulted in an international award for “Innovations in Sharing” between the Norwalk District and the city. Come to live and grow with Norwalk Schools! #BeAWarrior
