FOUNDERS WHO CARE & WHO GO ALL IN TO EXPAND FREEDOM, TRUTH, & COMPASSION
Michelle Norris, co-founder of Apogee 926, is dedicated to empowering students through holistic education and wellness. A UNC Chapel Hill graduate with a degree in Exercise and Sport Science, Michelle’s journey into holistic health began after a back injury ended her varsity diving career. She later became a certified health coach and served as Director of Nutrition for a corporate wellness company, where she honed her expertise in creating impactful wellness programs.
As a mom to two toddlers and the wife of a CrossFit gym owner, Michelle is passionate about fostering healthy habits in her family and community. Through Apogee 926, she combines her experience in education and wellness to inspire students to thrive physically, mentally, and academically.
As co-founder of Apogee 926, Jacob Norris, is passionate about creating a learning environment that empowers students to thrive. Having struggled with traditional schooling as a busy and active child, he understands the challenges many students face in conventional settings. His vision for Apogee 926 is to provide a more dynamic, personalized approach to education that engages students' unique strengths and interests.
With a background in fitness and a commitment to holistic development, Jacob works alongside Michelle to ensure Apogee School is a place where students grow academically, physically, and emotionally. Together, they aim to inspire the next generation to achieve their full potential.
