As we provide critical assistance to our neighbors in Western North Carolina, here's a reminder of our district's partnership with Johnston County Government's Hurricane Helene Relief Effort.
The region is in dire need of new, unused blankets. As you continue supporting the relief efforts, place these at the top of the list.
Thank you!
Yesterday we celebrated all day our wonderful team of custodians at our school. Thank you is not enough for all the things you do for us to keep our school clean and safe on a daily basis. We appreciate you so much!

Did you know...
JCPS is 1 of 12 districts to exceed pre-pandemic achievement?
Not only that, six of our amazing schools exited low performing status. All student subgroups are above pre-pandemic achievement, and JCPS is closing the achievement gaps.
#GreatThingsAreHappeningInJCPS
The next data highlight from the 2023-2024 school year data report is phenomenal!
Twenty-three of our schools earned their way into the top 20% of the state for growth. This accomplishment is just one example of students, teachers, and parents working together to propel our district up!
