Please help Norwich Middle School welcome Mrs. Inez Moutarde as our At Risk Coordinator. Please see the message from Mrs. Moutarde:
"I am so excited to come on board in this role as I spent my teen years growing up in Chenango County. I have spent nearly two decades living abroad in various countries. I had the opportunity to live and work in cultures much different than our own empowering teens. I love helping others change up mindset and habits to move towards their highest potential.
I love love love personal development and a more holistic approach to life. In addition to a Health/Wellness Degree from Buffalo State College, I am a Certified Health Coach, Certified Life Coach and a Quantum Flow Practioner.
I am also a Combat Veteran, having served in the Army Reserves and deployed on operations to Bosnia and Iraq, for which I was both honored and humbled to be awarded the Bronze Star
Outside of school, my interests include social media - content creation fascinates me, writing and being outdoors. You can find me out hiking the Chenango Greenway or visiting the nearby New York State Parks.
I am looking forward to working with students to help create their own positive goals based on the vision they have for themselves on their journey through Middle School."

The Middle School is excited to welcome Mr. Karl Gee to the NMS Family!!
Mr. Gee is excited to join Norwich Middle School teaching Technology Education. As a Technology Education teacher, he believes every student deserves the opportunity to learn through hands-on problem-based activities that encourage growth, especially in STEM and career skills. His experience has given him the opportunity to teach students from 2nd through 12th grade in a wide range of classes including engineering, communications, materials processing, robotics, and other technology-related subjects during the course of my 27-year teaching career.
He graduated from Millersville University in Pennsylvania with his bachelor’s degree in Technology Education and a minor in Technical Theater. He then earned my master’s degree in Technology Education at SUNY Oswego. He has enjoyed using his theater background working as an actor and craftsman at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire and building sets for many professional and school theater productions.
Last year he also coached an eSports team and we placed in the top four in the New York State PlayVs league in both the fall and spring seasons playing Rocket League.
