Hi, I'm Terry Norris, your Computer Science, We Build It Better and Digital Technology teacher as well as the Future Business Leaders of America sponsor.
I am a retired United States Marine, leaving the military in 2011 with 26 years of service. From 2011-2013, I taught Explosive Ordnance Disposal at a military school at Eglin Air Force Base in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. From 2013-2017, I manned the technology help desk at Fairhope Middle School, Fairhope, Alabama. From August 2017 to the present, I have been teaching 7th and 8th-grade students at Fairhope Middle School. In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I also am the Future Business Leaders of America student organization sponsor. My classroom philosophy is simple: Everything we do in the classroom is centered on student learning. I will help students hold themselves accountable and responsible. We'll have fun but we'll work. My life philosophy is also simple: Be where you're supposed to be when you're supposed to be there and do what you're supposed to do when you're supposed to do it. My wife and I reside in Daphne, Alabama, where we enjoy spending time with our five grandchildren and our Brittany Spaniel, Sadie Mae.
