Introducing Mr/Coach Norris
Mr. Norris was born and raised in Fullerton, CA. Having graduated from Chapman University in the city of Orange, CA, he possesses a Bachelor's Degree in Kinesiology. His passion has always been with athletics and the science behind it.
In January 2009 he moved to Georgetown and has been here in Texas for some time now. He married his wife, Jennifer, in 2012 and they adopted their lab mix, Ranger, that same year. In November 2015 their son, Thomas, joined the Norris clan!
Mr. Norris is obsessed with Ancient Roman history, movies and books about Ancient Rome, football, The University of Texas Longhorns sports, and lame jokes that make him, and others, laugh.
In his time as a teacher, he has taught World Cultures, ELA, and Reading. While in education, he has also coached football, track & field, along with girls’ golf. This year he will be working with the Athletic/PE and 6th grade Science Departments. Welcome to The Hive Mr. Norris!!
Congratulations Ms. Faulkner!
Congratulations to Mrs. Faulker ! She is one of our Spanish teachers extraordinaire who recently was granted $2,000.00 to purchase books in a foreign language. Research suggests that reading books in a foreign language enhances learning through sight recognition of vocabulary and visual application of grammatical rules. Unlike didactic teaching or even television programs in another language, reading allows a student to absorb material at his or her own pace. Students who are hesitant to speak a new language often have more confidence once they have read and understood a story. The stories provide a springboard to interest them in speaking in a new language. Mrs. Faulkner’s goal is to increase by 20% the number of students completing Spanish courses with grades of 90 and above by the end of the 2019-2020 school year. Congratulations to Hopewell’s amazing Spanish teacher!
It's that time of the year!!
