My name is Courtney Norton.  I have been a Library Media Specialist for Okmulgee Public Schools since the 2009-2010 school year.  I have the great pleasure of being the Dunbar Kelco STEM Lab facilitator, coaching robotics, and working with students in our Gifted and Talented program.  In the 2021-2022 school year I launched our new CareerTech STEM program with Tech Engineering classes.

I grew up in Oklahoma City and graduated from Putnam City North High School.  I went to college for one year at Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee before transferring to Oklahoma State University in Stillwater.  I graduated from Oklahoma State with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education.  After teaching 4 years in the classroom, I decided to pursue a master's degree in Library Media so that I could become a School Library Media Specialist.  I graduated in 2009 with my Master's in Education with Library Media option from East Central University in Ada.

I began my career as a School Library Media Specialist here in Okmulgee and look forward to many other years to come!

Go Bulldogs!
