In addition to their regularly scheduled classes, students share many common experiences, which enrich their lives as member of the Norfolk community. They have a rare opportunity to meet and to grow with boys and girls not only from their local neighborhood, but also from many communities. This opportunity to share the experiences and backgrounds of students other than those of their hometown is truly a broadening and educational experience.
All students participate in both an academic and vocational program each day.
Half of each student's day is devoted to his or her technical programs. Grade 10 students begin to specialize in special interest areas. Grade 11 and 12 students select one program and concentrate their studies in it. The school observes the same school vacations and holidays traditionally followed in local school districts.
