Johnston County Public Schools is committed to providing quality education to its students and professional learning environments for its staff, free of distractions, and supporting high-quality teaching and learning, enhancing student well-being, and maintaining a safe and focused school environment.
Recent studies indicate that cell phone use, particularly for social media and interaction, can interfere with students' ability to focus on learning and negatively impact students in many ways. Excessive use of cell phones and social media has been linked to lower academic performance, increased behavioral issues, and other conditions that hinder students' ability to excel.
In recent legislation, House Bill 959, Session Law 2025-38, revisions were made addressing clear guidelines for the use of cell phones to include educational purposes. The Johnston County Board of Education has adopted Policy Code: 4318 Use of Wireless Communication Devices.
Families are strongly encouraged to review the policy in its entirety.

The JCPS 2025 Leadership Conference is in the books! 📚
The final day began with the announcement of our 2025-2026 Principal of the Year Dr. Takicey Dunston of Benson Elementary School, and Assistant Principal of the Year Lauren Strickland of Polenta Elementary.
Attendees then participated in Grade Alike sessions which allowed for synergistic planning and thought sharing.
During his closing remarks, Superintendent Dr. Pearce charged the administrators with sharing and applying what they learned with their teams and carrying the vision forward. ➡️
