Providing a World Class Education for World Changing Students

Norton City Schools Statement of Beliefs 

We believe:

Norton City Schools are special.

Opportunities to learn in a high quality and safe environment should always be our top priority.

Relationships are built on mutual respect between students and staff. These relationships lead to a familial atmosphere that is connected to the success of our schools.

Tomorrow’s leaders should leave our schools as critical thinkers who are prepared to solve local, national, and global problems in college and/or a career.

Our policies and procedures are in place to help ensure that our students and staff meet their individualized high expectations.

Norton City Schools strives to recruit and retain high-quality employees who are accountable for providing an aligned curriculum in a creatively effective manner.

Communication should be regular and relevant between stakeholders in order to encourage parental engagement and community support which are critical elements of successful schools.

Innovatively researched based instructional strategies should be used in every classroom.

Teaching occurs outside the classroom as well, so we should offer an array of extension services in addition to extracurricular and co-curricular opportunities.

Yearly, we should set individualized and high expectations for all students because all students can learn.
