My name is Mr. Blatz and I am so excited to part of Norris Elementary. I have been a teacher since 2008, and worked in Plano ISD teaching 3rd and 5th Grade. I was born and raised in New York, but got to Texas as fast as I could! I graduated from U.T.D. in Richardson Texas, “Go Comets “! I live in Plano and my beautiful wife is a teacher in Plano ISD and an instructor at Dallas College. I have 3 children that I am so proud of, and they all keep me busy. When not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, exercising, and home improvement projects. My goal as an educator is to empower my students as lifelong learners while inspiring them to be fully equipped to manage themselves until they have valuable skills to make the world a better place.
