Over the past four years, my time at NCHS has been outstanding. I had the opportunity to meet plenty of friends while at the same time getting an education. The teachers were fantastic whenever I needed help they were there for me which helped me be able to keep an above 3.0. One thing that needs to be updated is the bathrooms, they are not in the best condition.

Athletics in Norton is another very important thing to our community and students. The crowd at football, basketball, wrestling and track meets are very large. Everyone makes sure to support each of the sports. The student section is almost always full of crazy excited students making it a memorial and fun time each time their is a game.
