Norma's Story

School
After graduating from Sanger I attended Fresno City College, graduated and transferred to Fresno State (January 1972). I graduated from CSU,Fresno(January 1974). I stayed until June and worked on my teaching credential. Next I transferred to the College of Notre Dame (Belmont)to complete my teaching credential while interning in Salinas (1974-75). After teaching for about 10 years I enrolled at CSU, Sacramento and received my Administrative Credential and also worked on my Master's at the same time. I attended other colleges and universities while working(extended classes, etc) in order to keep up with educational theori...Expand for more
es and technology.
Workplace
I started teaching in Salinas after George and I got married in 1974 after graduating from Fresno State. I then moved to Bakersfield in 1975 (husband transferred),I taught school in Bakersfield for 7 years and then moved to Turlock, CA after husband changed careers. I taught 12 years in Turlock while attending CSU, Sacramento and working on my Administrative Credential. I have been a principal of two alternative high schools for 17 years but recently gave up one of the schools (much better for me)! SOOOO, I have stayed in education and enjoy administration tremendously. I have worked with at-risk kids since I started teaching and through my entire career. I love what I do and I hope I have made a difference in the lives I have touched. There were a lot of other things going on in between primarily concentrating on raising three kids, but in a nutshell, that's it!
