The Norton Academy for special education students was renamed the Mary Ryan Academy in honor of an outstanding educator in 1999. The academy was housed at the same building and address as McFerran Preparatory Academy (1900 South Seventh Street).
In 2011, the Mary Ryan Academy, which serves a small number of Exceptional Child Education (ECE) students (typically less than 30), moved to a section of Liberty High (3307 East Indian Trail). Click here for more information on ECE services.
