Dear Students and Families,

It continues to be an honor of mine to serve the great town and students of Norton as it is my thirteenth year at NHS and my third year as your assistant principal. I am thrilled to welcome everyone—both returning and new members of our school community. I believe that in collaboration with our wonderful teachers, staff, parents, and stakeholders this year promises to be filled with learning, growth, and new opportunities.

In my years of experience I firmly believe that your time in high school is more than just academics. This is a time and place where you discover who you are, develop meaningful relationships, and begin shaping your future. The dedicated staff at NHS is here to support each and every one of you in reaching their highest potential—academically, socially, and emotionally. I encourage you all to set goals, stay curious, and get involved in all that our school has to offer. 

Thank you to the parents and guardians of our NHS students for your continued partnership and support. We value your involvement and look forward to working together to ensure your child’s success and overall experience at our wonderful school. 

Let’s make this school year one of positivity, perseverance, and pride in our community. Once again, thank you for giving me the opportunity to work at Norton High School. I look forward to seeing what this year has in store!

Mr. Jesse Shaughnessy
Assistant Principal, Norton High School
