An historic marker will be unveiled Wednesday in attalla at the former Norris High School recognizing the former school and those that helped create it.  The unveiling ceremony will begin at 11 a.m. Wednesday  morning and will kick off  a three-day open house at the center during the biennial Norris High School reunion.  The historic marker will include information about the Norris family that donated the land for the school.  Norris High served Attalla's black community from 1949 until 1969, when it closed because of integration.
