History
Miami Norland opened its doors to students in 1958 as an all-white school, taking in 50 students in grades 7-12. Once Norland Junior High School opened across the street, grades 7-9 moved there. Miami Norland continued to have three grade levels (10th, 11th and 12th) until 1985, when grade 9 was added.
The first principal of Miami Norland, Foster Hunter, guided the school from its inception into the mid-1970s. For more than a decade, it was an all-white school; this changed in 1969, when all schools in Dade County were court-ordered to desegregate.
The original buildings of Miami Norland were demolished during the summer of 2016, after a new, more modern facility was built to replace the old facility. Prior to the teardown, the school hosted a walk-through for alumni to take a last look at the old building. The new building opened for classes on August 22, 2016, at the beginning of the 2016-17 school year. This new building was the last new facility for the northern Miami-Dade County high schools.
The school now offers an Academy of Fine Arts, Hospitality and Tourism and Teaching magnet programs.
Prior to the opening of North Miami Beach High School and Dr. Michael Krop High School, students from North Miami Beach were assigned to North Miami High School and Miami Norland High School.[2]
Even in Florida's oppressive heat, there was no air conditioning at the school until the late 1970s.
Miami Norland Senior High is the sister school by original blueprints of Miami Palmetto Senior High in Southwest Dade County.
Miami Norland was graded an "A" school in December 2012.

Miami Norland is 95% Black, 4% Hispanic and 1% non-white Hispanic.[3]
