Our History

Picture
Nord School is the smallest and the oldest school in the Chico Unified School District. It was erected as the Missouri Bend School in 1867 and was renamed the following year as Mt. Diablo Meridian School. The school acquired its current name when the town of Nord was established along the Central Pacific Rail Line in 1872. The town was the northernmost valley community in Butte County at that time, hence the name Nord, which means north in French. The school is situated in the Northern Sacramento Valley, part of California’s Central Valley.
The Coastal Range Mountains are to the west of the school while the Sierra Nevada and Cascade Mountain Ranges are to the east. To the northeast, Nord School has a scenic view of Mt. Lassen and Mt. Shasta 90 miles further north.
