The School St. Norbert School began in the mid 1950's in Inkster, Michigan, a western suburb of Detroit. Only a grade school at first, it eventually expanded to include a high school. In its roughly 30 year history some thousands of students passed through its halls and classrooms. This web site celebrates those alumni, brave souls who attended and graduated and shared the inimitable and abiding experience of parochial education. Read a brief synopsis of its genesis.
The Site August 2001 Christine /Bielak/ Lamar (class of 1970) sent the pictures becoming the inspiration for this site. [See this loving tribute to her bravery.] Since that time it has grown to these many pages, photos and remembrances. There is room for more and it is hoped that you will donate yours to create a more complete image of the students and life of St. Norbert School. Here are submission instructions to have your collection included.
Suggestions about anything on this site, current or desired, can be mentioned in the Guestbook or write to the administration.
