Athletics
The Norwood Mustangs are a member of the Bay State Conference, a league within the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association.[3] They have a traditional rivalry with Dedham High School and Walpole High School.
In 2016, Norwood explored a move to the Tri-Valley League, similar to Dedham's move after the 2015–16 academic year. Norwood had the second-smallest enrollment of BSC schools during the 2016–17 year with 967, almost 200 less than neighboring Walpole and less than half of the largest schools in the conference.[4]
Norwood High's baseball team won the Division 1 state championship in 2015, snapping a 72-year drought between titles.
In the start of 2017 the Norwood eSports gaming team won its 8th straight tournament and is widely consider one of the best in the country.
