Last night, our Hyde County Schools family suffered a tremendous loss. Ms. Louise Beirne, a beloved elementary teacher at Mattamuskeet School, ended her courageous
battle with cancer. Though our hearts are heavy, we take comfort in knowing that her legacy of love, dedication, and compassion will continue to live on in the countless lives she touched.
Ms. Beirne was whole-hearted, devoted, and endlessly giving. She made every student feel seen and loved, and her passion for teaching and Mattamuskeet School lifted everyone around her. Throughout her battle, she showed up each day with grace, strength, and the radiant smile we all depended on. She embodied resilience, compassion, and a love that knew no limits.
To our students, families, and staff who adored her, thank you for surrounding her with so much love and support. She truly cherished her Mattamuskeet School Community.
We ask that you keep Ms. Beirne’s family, her students, and all who knew and loved her in your thoughts during this difficult time. May we honor her memory by continuing to care for one another the way she so effortlessly cared for us.
Her spirit will forever live in the halls of Mattamuskeet School, in the hearts of her students, and in the generations who will feel the ripple of her kindness.
May your light continue to guide us, Ms. Beirne.
You will always be part of our Hyde County Schools Family.
