ECE Team

I have been a teacher in JCPS for 18 years and have spent 16 years at Norton-all of which have been in the ECE department. I have the best job in the entire building because I get to work with all the different grade levels. I graduated from Western Kentucky University in 2006 with my Bachelors of Science in Exceptional Child Education. From there I attended the University of Louisville and got my Masters in School Counseling in 2010 and got my Specialist in Education in Instructional Leadership in 2021. 

My husband and I have two wonderful children (one boy and one girl) and very spoiled fur baby. I love spending time with my family and being a swim mom.My favorite season is fall because of the beautiful colors and cooler temperatures. I love to cheer on the University of Louisville Cardinals, craft on my Cricut and read lots of books.

Hello Norton Family! I'm Coach Bynum and I am an Instructional Assistant and the Athletic Director. This is my 22nd year at Norton and in JCPS. I am an avid Univeristy of Kentucky Wildcats fan and love to play Pickleball. When I am not working at an athletic event, I enjoy cheering on the Wildcats and going on adventures with my wife Diane and our dog Hawkeye. 

Oh how I love Norton! This is my 22nd year as an instructional assistant at Norton Elementary. I also went to school here as a kid! Once a Norton Cougar, always a Norton Cougar! My husband and I have 2 amazing children and a sweet dog named Rosie. I love spending time outdoors and on the water. I enjoy fishing, hiking, and creating art. 

This school year is my 23rd year at Norton Elementary as a Special Education Teacher. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Special Education, Elementary Education and Recreation from Western Kentucky University. I have a Master’s degree in Special Education from the University of Louisville.

I am a Louisville native. I love working with children! I enjoy spending time with my family, friends and my furry friends. I also enjoy traveling, gardening, cooking/baking, reading and being outdoors. I am a fan of UL sports!

I have been teaching for the past 15 years, 13 years in special education K-5 and 2 years as a 4th grade teacher. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications, a Dual Masters of Arts degree in Elementary Education and Special Education K-12, and an Education Specialist degree in Administration from Bellarmine University. 

My husband and I have been married for 24 years and have 4 children (one son and 3 daughters). I was born and raised in Louisville and attended JCPS K-12. I love spending time with my family and traveling! My evenings are spent watching our daughters play volleyball.  

This is my fourth year at Norton as an instructional assistant and I love being in and out of classrooms and supporting students! I am currently working on my Masters degree and hope to have my own classroom in the future. I speak Spanish and love to connect with students in that way as well. I coach the girls' basketball team in the winter and help out with cross country in the spring and in the fall. Norton athletics are so much fun! 

I am married with one daughter who goes to Norton and we have a little boy on the way this fall! We have a spoiled german shepherd and two cats that we adore. We love sports, hiking, traveling, and watching Marvel movies together. 

This is my 23rd year of teaching students with learning and behavior disabilities and my 6th year at Norton. I graduated from Morehead State University with degrees in K-4 Education and K-12 Learning and Behavior Education. I also graduated from the University of Louisville with a master's degree in Elementary Counseling. 

My husband and I have two children, our son is in 10th grade and our daughter is in 7th. We have a new Bernedoodle puppy named Maggie. In my spare time I enjoy traveling and visiting my family in Ohio. I'm ready for another fun year! 

This is my 26th year of teaching, and I have been at Norton for 15 years. Over my years of teaching, I have taught K-12, but I love teaching 4th-5th grades. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Special Education from Northeastern Illinois University. 

My husband and I have 1 wonderful son, and I also have 3 stepchildren. I grew up in Chicago but have been living in Louisville for almost 20 years. I love spending time with my family and friends. I also enjoy traveling, gardening, and reading. I love teaching at Norton!
