Fourth Grade Teachers

I love being a Norton Cougar! I have 9 years experience, all of which have been in either 3rd or 4th grade. I think 4th grade is the best grade to teach because students are curious, funny, and capable! I adore passing on my love for reading and curiosity about the world with students. 

I earned my BA in Interior Design at Samford University and then changed careers by earning my Masters of Education at Indiana University Southeast. I am currently working on my National Board for Professional Teaching Standards Certification to earn my literacy specialist endorsement. I love teaching because it lets my design mind be creative, but I get the joy of helping students grow! My husband and I have one daughter, who is a student here at Norton, and two cats. I love reading, traveling, cooking, and doing art projects. Though I love summer break, fall is my favorite season because of the smells, colors, and activities. 

Hello! My name is Angela Fishburn. Welcome to 4th Grade at Norton Elementary! I am looking forward to the upcoming school year and getting to know your child! I am entering my 14th year of teaching and 7th year here at Norton! Go Cougars! I have taught all grades in elementary school and love the intermediate grades (4th and 5th). My favorite subject to teach is math and I am continuously reading and exploring the best way to teach it. I graduated from the University of Louisville with my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and went on to get my Masters degree at Indiana University Southeast. I am currently working on another certification. 

I have been married for 14 years and we have two little girls, Claire (1st), Adeline (5th) and one guinea pig, Sugar. My family all lives in Louisville which is such a blessing because I love being close to and spending time with my family. When I am not teaching, I love camping, reading in a hammock, hiking, and doing anything to enjoy the outdoors or be physically active. I also love to cook and bake. 

Hello! My name is Stephanie Maynard. I currently teach 4th Grade. I have been teaching for 15 years and 5 years at Norton! Previously I have taught 1st grade (4 years), 4th grade (1 year and then looped to 5th) and 5th grade for the last 9 years. I have been married for 16 years and we have one little girl, Sloane (4th grade) and one cat, Cooper. I was born and raised in the South! I came to Louisville for college and never left! I met my husband in college when we both swam for the UofL. I love swimming for everything it taught me and the experience competing in college athletics gave me. I am an only child and now my parents live 10 minutes away from us. I cherish our time with them so much! I am an avid runner and coach our Norton XC team! Running is a passion and has taught me so much about life. I am so lucky to be a Norton Cougar! 

Hello! My name is Becca Wilson. I have been a JCPS teacher for 10 years. I started my Elementary Education journey at Indiana University Southeast where I earned my bachelor's degree. After a couple years in the classroom, I completed my master's degree in Literacy at Bellarmine University. I have taught 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade over the years, but intermediate holds a special place in my heart. I am currently completing the Change Maker program at UK (Go CATS) to earn my Rank I.  

My husband John and I have been married for 11 years and have 3 sweet boys (Quinten, Emmett and Jameson) and a crazy dog (Ms. Moneypenny). When I am not in the classroom, I love to be outdoors! Swimming, hiking and kayaking are a few of my favorite activities. My favorite home activities are reading and crafts. I love spending time with family and friends, and I look forward to getting to know all the Norton students and families!
