Principal's Message
Greetings,
I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer. The weeks of summer break are winding down and before we know it, school days will be upon us again. You will find information below regarding events and scheduling for the upcoming semester. You will be able to access your student's schedule on Power School the week of August 12th and you can pick the schedule up during Orientation on August 22nd at the Eastern Regional Skills Center located at 261 Northwest Corridor Boulevard, Jacksonville, NC 28540. Most of our students know their schedules based on meeting with Mr. Caratelli, our school counselor but if you cannot access the schedule during that week please call the school office at 910-989-2013 or email me at carla.bradshaw@onslow.k12.nc.us.

Early Release Professional Development Days
Onslow County Schools has six Early Release Professional Development Days built into our school calendar. The days are used to allow for required professional development for staff in the afternoons. On these days school will conclude at 11:55 a.m. and the schedule has been arranged to allow for students who change classes to have the same time in each period. These ERPD dates are as follows: 9/18/24, 10/9/24, 11/20/24, 2/12/25, 3/12/25, and 4/9/25. The schedule above reflects the period times for middle and high. Elementary teachers will share subject times for their classes individually.
