Kiroli principal Carolyn Norris reflects on 56.7 years of service

WEST MONROE, La. (KNOE) - This week on What’s Your Story?, Aaron Dietrich sat down with Kiroli Principal Carolyn Norris as she prepares to close out 56.7 years of service in education.

The conversation mixed stories, laughter and tears, including a moment Norris summed up with a line she says captures what she loves most about her job.

“By 9:30 in the morning I have probably had 250 hugs,” said Norris. “What have you done by 9:30 in the morning?”

Dietrich also joined Norris for what she called her “last race” during Kiroli’s field day, a sendoff that brought plenty of emotion — and, Dietrich noted, a shared box of Kleenex.
