Interested in joining Hyde Academy? Want to learn more?
We will have an informative meeting for 8th-11th grade students and parents in the Mattamuskeet Library on Monday, May 15th at 5:30pm. This is for students who are not currently enrolled in Hyde Academy.
Homeschool students are welcome!


Today, there will be a Public Information Meeting on Federal Grant Programs for the 2023 - 2024 school year in the Cafeteria at Mattamuskeet School from 5:00 - 6:30.
Information on funding for Federal and State grants will be discussed. Please plan on joining the conversation. Light refreshments will be provided.


Staff, Parents and Students: As this school year soon comes to a close, we understand you need to make plans around the school calendar for next school year.
At this point in time, the Board of Education has approved two different calendars drafts; one for Mattamuskeet School and Hyde Academy and the other one for Ocracoke School, but these calendars are not official.
The hold up to make them so relies solely on the passing on House Bill HB163: AN ACT TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY TO CERTAIN SCHOOL SYTEMS IN ADOPTING THE SCHOOL CALENDARS at the General Assembly in Raleigh, NC.
We would still like to share a link to each calendar to help you plan out the school year. However, if you like your particular calendar, we do encourage you to contact you legislators and ask them to pass HB163.
Please click on the links to access the calendar drafts:

We cannot let this week fly by without a huge shout out to our School Administrators on their day!
These ladies work tirelessly to run Mattamuskeet and Ocracoke Schools and their efforts and dedication never go unnoticed!
Congratulations and keep making us proud and taking our school system to higher heights!


Due to field conditions after the storm system yesterday making it inadequate for play, the Varsity games away against Hobgood have been cancelled this afternoon. At this time, there is no plan to reschedule them.


It has been rescheduled now for Wednesday, May 10th at 6:00pm in the Gym!

The event will have two sessions available from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and 10:35 a.m. to 12:05 p.m. All-day volunteers (9:00 a.m. – 12:05 p.m.) are preferred and lunch will be provided. You may sign up to volunteer directly at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050B4DABAA23A4F85-reality

As we celebrate Love the Bus month, Transportation Director, Ms. Sadler, treated all bus drivers to lunch at Martelle's today to continue to show our appreciation for the work they do daily to transport our precious cargo to/from school as well as trips all over the state and beyond.
Superintendent Shaver and Mattamuskeet School Principal Etheridge joined them as well.


February 15th was National School Resource Officer day. School resource officers are valuable and essential to the educational community. We are very fortunate to have Officer Britt on staff.
Officer Britt, we can't thank you enough for being an informal mentor, positive role model for our youth, and for keeping our school and students safe. We appreciate you!
