Although the current high school is a relatively new building, under a dame add old, it is still missing some necessities and has some unnecessary facilities where budgeting could have been handled better in the grand scheme of things. Otherwise it is not half bad to be fair enough so to say.

My experience at Norton High School has been pretty hard but worth it. Freshmen year wasn't easy for me because I am not very social. I had few friends, but I still dreamed of becoming a novelist. My family has said it's only a dream job to become a novelist, but I'll prove them wrong. The rest of my time at Norton has been fine, and trying at the same time.

My favorite part of Norton High was the art department. The school's fashion show is an experience I will never forget and it helped me decide what I wanted to do in my future.
