He received his early education in the public schools of East Baton Rouge Parish.

He attended Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education.

Norman was a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated and the 100 Black Men of Metro Baton Rouge. He taught mathematics and science at Merrydale Elementary School and Southern University Laboratory School. Norman quickly began his ascent into administrative roles; first, as Lead Magnet Teacher for Scotlandville Pre-Engineering Magnet Academy, followed by Assistant Principal – Twin Oaks Elementary School, Interim Principal – Cedarcrest-Southmoor Elementary School, and Principal – Westminster Elementary School. His passion was our youth, and he simply loved making a difference in their lives. This past fall, Norman accepted an opportunity to become the Director of University College at Langston University in Langston, Oklahoma. In his 43 years, he worked tirelessly to make the world a better place. He truly subscribed to the belief that "everybody is somebody." His life was a living testament of love, courage, strength and wisdom.
Norman is survived by his father, Dr. C. Norman St. Amant, Jr. He was preceded in death by his mother, Lois Fields St. Amant; grandparents, Norman Joseph and Helen Decuir St. Amant, and Ransdell James and Melana Logan Fields.
