Homecoming Week is HEREEEE!!!
October is National Principals' Month
School principals are dedicated and empathetic leaders who create an environment that fosters learning, growth, and development. They constantly strive to improve the school experience for their students and put their needs first. They serve as a source of inspiration, motivation, and encouragement for the school community, preparing students for the challenges of the real world. Without school principals, the education system would not be as excellent as it is today. We should appreciate and thank them for their commitment to improving our schools.
We are blessed to have Ms. Etheridge and Ms. Cole lead our schools. Their contributions do not go unnoticed!

With 2 more weeks left of the school year, our students are going to start taking their final exams! As always, we ask that you make sure you child gets a good night sleep each night before testing day, has a hearty breakfast and reports to school on time. To the best of your ability, we also ask that they do not miss school on any designated testing day. Encourage them to do their very best!
Calling HS History teachers out there! We have an open position to teach HS History. Apply today! 💙🐬🎉
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:
