About Our Teacher
My name is Linda
Norton and I was born
and raised in Evansville, Indiana, I
attended the University of
Evansville after graduating from
Memorial
High School in 1971.
While at the university, I earned a degree in Secondary Education with a
major in English and a minor in Social Studies. I began my
teaching career at
Washington Catholic Middle School
in Washington, Indiana, teaching language arts and religion.
After four years, I returned to Evansville
where I married Tom Norton and accepted a teaching position at St. Philip School where I taught
English to grades five through eight and literature to grades seven and
eight, I started my years here in a seventh grade homeroom with Sr. Mary
Hilary as my principal. In August of 1980, I completed work on my
Master’s degree at Indiana State
University in Terre Haute. As the
next school year started, I moved to the eighth grade homeroom. I
have remained as the eighth grade teacher since then, teaching language
arts, social studies, art, and religion throughout my years here.
During my twenty-eight years at St. Philip, Tom and I have been blessed
with two children, the youngest, Andy, graduating from
St.
Philip School in 2007. I currently teach seventh
and eighth grade language arts and eighth grade religion and help coach
the speech team.
