Overall, I had a relatively positive experience at Norris. The staff consisted of many “younger” teachers who were often fresh out of college; this was great because oftentimes this made class a lot more enjoyable. Older teachers tend to have more dry classes, but the younger ones still seem enthusiastic about teaching. As long as you weren’t super distracting in class, and you worked hard, the teachers would all get along fine with you. The main knock I have against Norris is with their approach at preparing students for secondary education. In my opinion, the majority of the classes I took that weren’t dual-credit were really easy. I wouldn’t be surprised if half of the students coming out of Norris find or will come to find themselves overwhelmed by their college courses. At the end of the day, however, I still think Norris as a whole is one of the better high schools in the area.
If I'm being honest, I have loved attending Norris School District. I have been at this school since I was in kindergarten and I truly have no complaints. I have loved pretty much every teacher I have ever interacted with. Just the overall environment of Norris is extremely close-knit and there is an immense amount of school spirit. Attending and participating in sports events has been thrilling thanks to the almost electric environment. Not to mention, I love how everything is on one campus.
Norris is a school that prepares you well academically for college and any type of future education after high school. Norris also is renowned for their highly competitive and successful sports and music programs, and there is a decent amount of clubs and activities to be involved in for the size of the school. The teaching staff is just as any other high school, with some teachers being very memorable and great role models, were as others are some that have left me with a sour taste in my mouth. All in all, Norris is a place I will remember as helping to create the person I am today thanks to the great memories, students, and staff.
