Connection to CCES:
Mr. Norris’s four children have attended CCES: Stephanie Shipley ’88, James Harris ’94, Edgar M. Norris ’03, and Anne Norris ’05.

Vision for CCES:
“I believe CCES will become known as the premier school in the state and will become a major reason for people to move to our community.”

To help make this vision a reality, Mr. Norris places strong emphasis on philanthropy for growing the school: “Successful private education institutions are dependent on the planning and generosity of prior generations. The school’s short history, just 50 years, clearly shows how remarkably well that the founders, their followers, and the current generation of leaders have grown the school’s assets through prior capital campaigns. Now, we have to follow through and build on their success to allow this growth to continue without so much dependency on tuition to fund operations.”
