My name is Stephanie Norris. I am a Johnston County native. I attended Micro Pine Level Elementary (K-2), Johnston Christian Academy (K-5), North Johnston Middle School (6-8), and North Johnston High School (9-12). I graduate with a bachelors degree from the University of Mount Olive. I started my teaching career as a daycare teacher for 9 years. Once completing my associates degree I applied with Johnston County Schools as a teacher assistant. I worked as an assistant for 4 years with students with special needs. After graduating with my 4 year degree I began looking for employment as a lead teacher for students with special needs. I worked an entire year and a half in Wilson County; however, there is no place like home. I am now a proud member of the Four Oaks Cardinal family and would not have it any other way. I love working with children of all ages especially those with special needs. You never truly know what an impact you can have on children's lives until you step into a teaching roll. I have a wonderful and supportive family. Hopefully I will be getting married sooner than later. We have been engaged for awhile just not set a date. I have a 4 year old son that is my everything. He is the reason I wake up every morning and put my best foot forward. He will be a Cardinal this school year 2019-2020 in the preschool program. His father and myself are extremely excited for our son to start this new adventure. A little scared as our baby is growing up, but we know he is in good hands.  I look forward to getting to know everyone and cannot wait to return for the 2019-2020 school year.
