Norview High School is a public high school in central Norfolk, Virginia. Norview High School is one of the five local high schools that serve the city in the Norfolk Public Schools system. It is home of the Dodson Scholars Program and the Leadership Center for Science and Engineering program (or commonly referred to as LCSE).
