As principal of Norton Middle School, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our school. Norton Middle School is filled with passionate teachers, hardworking students, an extremely dedicated staff and a very supportive school community. The school is divided into teams, purple and white. The purpose of teams is to create smaller learning communities that build close trusting relationship among teachers and classmates creating a climate of personal growth and intellectual development.

Assistant Principal, Ronnie Goldstein, Dean of Students Tanya Benoit and I are committed to creating and maintaining a safe and disciplined learning environment in order to improve student outcomes. We will make every effort to help your child reach their fullest potential.
