Creswell Elementary School

We are excited to celebrate Ms. Jardine Morgan! On November 15, 2024, she was recognized as the district's Outstanding Elementary Math Teacher for the 2024-2025 school year. This prestigious award, presented by the North Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCCTM) and the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI), honors educators who inspire student success, demonstrate a strong record of academic achievement, and make meaningful contributions to mathematics education. Ms. Morgan's unwavering commitment to fostering a love of learning and establishing a strong mathematical foundation for her students truly sets her apart. Congratulations, Ms. Morgan!

Dear Washington County School Community, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to provide an important update regarding the construction of our new school building. As you may be aware, this project is a significant investment in the future of our students and community, and we have been eagerly anticipating its completion. Unfortunately, I must inform you that the delivery and opening of the new building will be delayed until late fall. Despite the best efforts of our construction team and partners, unexpected site issues have impacted the project timeline. We understand that this news may be disappointing, especially for those who were looking forward to utilizing the new facilities. Please rest assured that we are doing everything in our power to address these issues and expedite the completion process. Our primary concern remains the safety and quality of the building, and we are committed to ensuring that it meets the highest standards. Although this is an unfortunate circumstance, we are still moving forward with our planned consolidation of Washington County Elementary School (formerly Pines and Creswell Elementary Schools) and Washington County High School (combined WCHS and WCMS). We appreciate your understanding and patience as we navigate this situation. We will continue to keep you updated on the progress of the project and will notify you of the new expected completion date as soon as it is confirmed. Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we work towards providing the best possible educational environment for our students. Sincerely, David O. White, Ed.D. Superintendent Washington County Schools

🌟 Exciting Adventures at the Albemarle Museum and Kahn Planetarium! 🌠 What an incredible day our students had exploring the Albemarle Museum and the Kahn Planetarium on the ECSU college campus!
