⚓ Senior Success Night – Class of 2026! ⚓
Last night we welcomed parents and students for our Senior Success Night— 🎓 Families gained valuable insight on college admissions, scholarships, financial aid, and post-graduation pathways.
We are grateful to retired JCPS counselor Rodney Allred for sharing his expertise, to our Johnston Community College partners for highlighting opportunities like the Commissioner’s Promise and BOOST programs, and to our military recruiters for supporting students exploring service after high school.
Thank you to our amazing CHHS Student Services team for organizing and guiding our seniors through every step of the journey.
We are #anchoredtogether to ensure every Pirate succeeds! 💜💛🏴☠️

JCPS continues to shine! 🌟
We are excited to announce that Johnston County Public Schools has continued its journey to becoming one of the best districts in the state, according to 2024-2025 data recently released by NCDPI.
A few of the district highlights included a significant increase in student proficiency scores and school performance grades, with 93% of our schools having a school letter grade of A, B, or C! 75% of our schools met or exceeded growth, which is well above the state average.
Amazingly, 15 of our schools rank in the top 20% statewide, with seven schools in the top 10% for growth! Graduation rates for JCPS schools continue to rise, with JCPS reaching 92.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average of 87.7%
A huge thank you to our incredible educators, hardworking students, and supportive families for helping drive this success forward! 📈
