My name is Jason Norton, and I am thrilled about the opportunity to be back at Lincoln Heights Environmental Connections Magnet Elementary to serve as Assistant Principal! Just a few short years ago, I had the privilege of serving here as the administrative intern and magnet instructional coach. From January 2021 to 2024, I proudly served as the assistant principal of Kingswood Magnet Elementary School in Cary. Now, I've been back in Lincoln Heights since 2024, and I'm excited to begin another school year here!

 

I was born and raised a Buckeye in the small town of Bellefontaine, Ohio. I completed my undergraduate work at Clark Summit University with a degree in Elementary Education and most recently graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a Master's in School Administration. My wife (of 19 years) and I have lived in North Carolina since 2006 and have been blessed with three amazing children, Reese, Carter, and Will. Sports are another personal passion of mine, as I am an avid fan of the Cincinnati Reds, Cincinnati Bengals, and THE Ohio State Buckeyes. In my spare time, I love to go on adventures and set personal goals that challenge me. 

 

Throughout my years as an educator in WCPSS, I have had the opportunity to teach and work with hundreds of elementary students.  I am passionate about being inside of a school and enthusiastically working with students, teachers, and families to ensure that school becomes a place where they ALL feel loved, and supported, and CAN experience academic success! I am honored to be able to join, partner, and serve with the cast of All-Stars of this great school, and I can’t wait to get to know each of you! Looking forward to a great school year with you!
