All Academic Team Banquet 2024

Congratulations to the 157 students representing all of our high schools that earned the prestigious honor of being part of this year’s All Academic Team. These students have earned a 4.0 GPA during their high school career.

This special event is always very special to the Board of Education as it is an opportunity to shine the spotlight on academic success.

It is also a great privilege to celebrate the parents and families for their outstanding contributions and commitment to their student's education.

This year's event took place on Tuesday, April 30, 2024. Thank you to West Craven High School Band for providing the pre-dinner music, Havelock High School JROTC for the presentation of the colors and leading the pledge of allegiance, and this year’s special guest speaker for the program was Mr. Sasha Seymore, New Bern High School Class of 2011 graduate.

Mr. Seymore’s message for the students was perfectly clear~don’t let people diminish your dreams because you are from a small town, building meaningful relationships matters and is important since you never know when you might be in a situation where you need help or assistance professionally or personally, and while you’re working towards your goals make sure you live and cherish the moments.

A special shout out to all who contributed to making this event possible; teachers, counselors, mentors, principals, staff, family, volunteers, coaches, and community members …your support plays a huge factor in the success of our students!

Retirement Banquet 2024

Congratulations to our 50 retirees, celebrated on Thursday, May 2, 2024, during a special ceremony and dinner at The Flame.

The honorees contributed an incredible amount of time, energy, and dedication to our students and community.

To break it down collectively there was a total of 1069 years of service which equals 389,820 days and 9million+ hours of service for our school system. That is a tremendous amount of heart!

Each year the retiree with the highest level of service is awarded a rocking chair to enjoy their new time in. This year the winner, which was determined by only a few months, is Mrs. Wendy Barber with 32.4 years of service.

Thank you to all of our amazing retirees. We hope you enjoy this next chapter of your life. We are grateful for all of your contributions in making our schools the best they can be and we couldn’t be happier for you!
