Based on the current weather forecast, Johnston County Public Schools will continue normal operations on Monday, September 16, 2024. However, all after-school and evening campus activities and events have been canceled due to the forecast.
We understand that this decision will inconvenience many after-school events, however, student and staff safety is our primary concern.
It is our district’s goal to make our school communities as prepared as possible for emergency situations, including inclement weather. This decision has been made out of an abundance of caution, per the guidance of local and state emergency service officials.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we navigate this storm event. We encourage everyone to follow the guidance of local weather officials, and have a safe evening!

Good evening Pirate Families
This is Michelle Butler, Principal at Corinth-Holders Elementary- the BEST school in Johnston County with a few carpool updates. As most of you have noticed, we have quite a few more students arriving and dismissing by carpool this year. We are working with the county on how to make carpool run quicker and more efficiently for you. Right now we have about 300 students going through carpool everyday. This is half of our school population. Parents, we need your help to make arrival and dismissal as safe and quick as possible.
When dropping off in the carpool lane, please pull up as close as you can to the car in front of you. This will allow us to release more students to the cars with each carpool rotation.
If you have a young child who is riding in a car or booster seat, please work with them on how to buckle and unbuckle themselves from the seat.
Also, please do not park in the parking lot in the mornings and let your children out of the car at 8:25. We have a very small parking lot and those spaces are needed for families dropping off students in before school care, parents that have meetings before school, staff, and for families needing wheelchair accessible parking spaces.
Thank you for your patience and together we can get your children home safely and quickly. Have a great evening. Go Pirates!
