Dear Kelly Mello: Something in our community that deserves recognition is Norton High School’s School to Career program. This program gives me and other students the privilege to gain work experience in careers of our interest. For this particular program it is a course that juniors and seniors get to chose for credits rather than taking alternative regular ones. The School to Career program allows students to decide if they truly want to work in a particular work field before it is chosen and they dislike it. Many high school students including myself have no idea what they want to go to college for and that can be very stressful. Throughout a student attending college’s years they tend to switch their majors because they find they like …

TO THE EDITOR: It is my hope that at this point most Norton residents are aware of the High School Renovation Project opportunity. If not, now is the time to get informed. If you do, you will quickly and easily see how this project can benefit us all in so many ways. Ensuring this project moves forward is important for all residents, whether you have children in the school system or not. It is common knowledge that the Norton High School is in dire need of improvement. The building is 40 years old and has insufficient space for students and equipment, inefficient heating/electrical systems, outdated science labs, insufficient facilities to support today’s technology–and this list goes on. If you are unfamiliar with the extent to which …

Happy Birthday Norton On June 12th the citizens of Norton will line the road to watch a parade celebrating the 300th birthday of the town. It will be a wonderful way to celebrate Norton’s past. The day before the parade those same citizens will go to the polls to decide Norton’s future. Norton has a chance to renovate the town’s High School and put on a much needed addition while being reimbursed for 64% of the cost. Even with the reimbursement the cost is no small figure. The projected cost of the project after reimbursement is likely to approach $11.5 million and will require a debt exclusion to be passed at the special Town Meeting on June 6th and also by vote at the polls on June 11th. It seems like we have become a town of 2 …
