Dear Patricia, I would like to extend sincere congratulations for Norton ranking 47th in the state for last year's MCAS scores. I was extremely proud to see that the Norton School District ranked within the top 50 in the state, this is quite an achievement. It is not only a tribute to the students of Norton, but also for the teachers, administration, School Committee, and the entire community. Producing such high results is a difficult task for all of the individuals within a school district, and Norton has risen to the challenge.

The students at Norton schools are lucky to have hardworking teachers and administrators …
