N/A

Having lived in Norton my entire life and graduating from Norton, I once held those at Norton in very high regard. The relationships I formed while at Norton made me want to become a teacher and coach. After I earned my degree, I fell on some hard times in my personal life and I had to step away from my education career. Now, 10 years after earning my teaching degree, I worked hard to overcome my personal obstacles and clean up my act, and I'm finally once again pursuing a teaching and coaching career. Last school year, I subbed and coached. This past summer, I desperately tried to get a full-time position somewhere, including Norton. I applied to 3 different openings at Norton and they never gave me the chance to even interview. I even reached out to the principal and vice principal, both of whom are former teachers of mine. They simply told me to go through the online application process, which I did--multiple times. They also said they have the privilege of being able to choose "the best of the best" when it comes to their teachers. I have 5 years of experience subbing and coaching, and yet, for some reason the administration at Norton wouldn't as much as grant me an interview. That being said, I can't help but think that they are judging me and discriminating against me because of my struggles in my past. I'm a different man than I was 5, 10, 15 years ago. How can they even know the type of person I am TODAY if they won't give me a chance to interview? I felt very let down and disappointed in those in charge at Norton, my alma mater. People that were a huge part of my life growing up, people that influenced me to become an educator, and now, people that, in my mind, have turned their backs on me. No loyalty--not even for their own taxpaying residents.

the food is not good and the learning is not good

Our daughter goes to this school and we all absolutely love it! Her teacher is wonderful as is the principal, and they go above and beyond educating the children. We highly recommend it!
