Spreading Holiday Cheer

It was very delightful to celebrate two students last week for their artwork submitted for this year's Board of Education Holiday Card.

A joyful & fun image created by Leionna Mobley-Jenkins, 9th-grade student at New Bern High School, will grace the front of this year's Board of Education Holiday Card.

The jolly image Mason Moore, 5th-grade student at Creekside Elementary School created will be used for this year's Superintendent's Holiday Card.

We are extremely proud of all of the artwork submitted and look forward to sharing these special cards across the state with other school districts, elected officials, and community partners. This is a wonderful way to celebrate the season and our very talented students.

WEEK IN REVIEW November 28-December 2

This week we spend some time focusing on STEM hands-on learning with Early College EAST, Hj Macdonald Middle School, and Grover C. Fields Middle School.

Engaging learning immerses our students in a collaborative experience and allows them to apply knowledge in real-world situations.

FAFSA is Open!

The 2022-2023 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) cycle is open!

Completing the application is a necessary step for prospective college students to receive financial aid. Not only does it make you eligible for federal aid, such as Pell Grants or work-study programs, but North Carolina’s colleges and universities also use the form to divvy up state aid.

The form is open until June 30, 2023. Many North Carolina schools give out aid on a first-come, first-served basis, so it’s best to fill it out as soon as possible, even if you haven’t finalized your plans.
