I’m a Nebraska girl at heart, and August is one of my favorite times of year. The excitement of back-to-school, the hint of fall festivities, and the kickoff of football season always bring a renewed sense of energy and anticipation. Each new school year holds the promise of academic, social, and emotional growth—for both students and educators alike.

Over the past decade, Norris has become my home away from home. Three of my four children have graduated from Norris High School, and the relationships they built and the opportunities they were given have played a significant role in shaping who they are today. As a parent, I’m forever grateful for the impact the Norris experience has had on their lives.

Now, as an educator, I’m truly honored to be part of this incredible team of professionals—dedicated to fostering the growth and development of our next generation. Here’s to another meaningful year together!
