Welcome to the Norton City Schools website! I hope you will visit this site often to stay abreast of current events in our school division as well as gaining information that may be of interest to you.

This past school year was one of multiple accomplishments. Some of these include:

• Both J.I. Burton and Norton Elementary/Middle School met Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) benchmarks.
• Our school division was one of only four in the state that met AYP.
• Our girl’s basketball team defeated Sussex Central 65-54 to win the Virginia High School League state championship.  In addition, J.I. Burton had individual state champions in both wrestling and forensics.
• The J.I. Burton band program earned superior competition ratings at both of their competitions as well as winning first place at the prestigious McChesney Band Festival.
• For the first time, two students from Norton Elementary and Middle School won the grand prize at the annual CEDAR Coal Fair.
• Our baseball team won their first ever Region D Championship and advanced to the state final four.

Based upon this list of accomplishments, one can easily see that we have many reasons to be proud of our schools, students, and staff. Our continuous goal is to build upon our strengths, but more importantly, identify and improve our weaknesses.

I, along with the Norton City Schools’ administrative leadership team, encourage your thoughts and suggestions on how we can grow stronger.

Go Raiders!
