I'm just going to put this out there: Spending hundreds of millions of dollars on private school vouchers is a horrible fiscal decision in light of the massive state needs to help WNC recover from this disaster.

It was a tough journey this year, and one I never expected to be on. 2024 taught me a thing or two about faith, grace, strength, and the power of your tribe. Proud to be officially cancer-free. Early detection saves lives. 🎀🩷🎀 #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth

So excited for Jason Johnson! An amazing principal and champion for students and teachers!

When Sen. Graig Meyer asks if he can visit your students, you say YES! Mr. Faulkner's science classes wrote letters to Senator Meyer about renewable resources and this morning he paid them a visit to answer their questions. He also recognized our State Champion Book Battle Team.

Excited to kickoff our partnership with Duke Biomedical Engineering! This summer OrangeCountySchools teachers will engage in an immersive professional development experience on the engineering design process. Cannot wait to see all they bring back in August! 🧬🔬🥼
