Austin Norton graduated from Middle College High School at Chattanooga State, and with an associate degree in applied arts. “It’s been a long few years, but it was definitely worth it,” says Austin. Although he settled on his career path through trial and error, he feels Chattanooga State enabled him to better himself and further his career. He plans to pursue his dream of becoming a successful story boarder by continuing his education at the Art Institute of Tennessee in Nashville. Austin is grateful for the support of his parents Angela and J.R. Guess.
