Fifth Grade Teachers

My name is Mr. Coy and this will be my seventh year of teaching and my third year teaching at Norton Elementary School! I have really enjoyed moving to Louisville, Kentucky, but I am still a Hoosier at heart! When I am not teaching I enjoy exercising, cooking and spending time with my wife and son! 

I am excited to be at Norton Elementary! I have been a teacher in JCPS for over ten years and enjoy my time as an educator. I received my Bachelors degree from Northern Kentucky University and my Masters in Education from Spalding University. I love to spend time with my husband and two children. We also have two chocolate labs, Lexi and Nola. We love to be outside and can most likely find us at a pool or ball field. We love to go to the beach, play at a park, or have a fun game night. I love to watch football (Go Cards, Go IRISH!) Fall is my favorite season. Go Cougars! 

Hello! My name is Debbie Hayen. I am excited to teach 5th Grade at Norton Elementary! I am entering my 23rd year of teaching and 7th year here at Norton. This is my fourth year teaching fifth grade and I absolutely love it! I have been married for 25 years and we have two children, Renee (Senior at University of Louisville Speed School) and Nicholas (Senior at Oldham County High School). We also have two dogs. Bosco is a Yorkiepoo and Libby AKA Princess is a Shih tzu. 

I am entering my 23rd year of teaching and 18th year at Norton. I have taught 5th grade every year except my first year (it is my favorite grade). I graduated from Miami University (in Oxford, OH - we were a college before Florida was a state!) with my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and went on to get my Master’s Degree from Indiana Wesleyan University. I earned my Rank I (basically an additional master’s degree) in Elementary Education from the University of the Cumberlands. I teach math and social studies to our set of 5th graders. I love learning new things and I hope to pass that passion onto the students. 

I have been married for 20 years and we have two children, Caitlyn (10th grade at Manual) and Abigail (8th grade at Noe). We also have two fur babies, Lucy and Lily, who are miniature pinschers and keep us on our toes.
