Welcome to the Norwalk Community School District where we are focused on our District’s Mission: Growing Learners and Leaders. Our district is home to approximately 3,400 students and over 490 staff members. We are a Leader in Me school district working to develop our students’ full potential through our Portrait of a Learner.
NCSD claims many past award recipients including past Iowa Teachers of the Year, two Principals of the Year, Technology Leaders of the Year, Central Office Administrator of the Year, and National Milken Educators, among many others. Four Iowa Hall of Fame coaches and one National Hall of Fame coach spent exemplary careers in the NCSD. 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
