Superintendent Norman recently visited students in Mrs. Bulla's "Exploring Teaching as a Profession" class to share about his own career journey in education, experiences as superintendent and to answer questions. Developed in 2017-18 , this class is one of the SUNY Albany college credit opportunities offered at MWHS and gives students the opportunity to take a deeper dive into the roles of teachers in public education.
"My mom instilled in me that education was important. I watched my mother model teaching for years, I valued education and I have a passion for helping people. I decided I wanted to be a teacher. I chose a path of elementary education and it was one of the better choices of my life."
~ Dr. Norman
