As we provide critical assistance to our neighbors in Western North Carolina, here's a reminder of our district's partnership with Johnston County Government's Hurricane Helene Relief Effort.
The region is in dire need of new, unused blankets. As you continue supporting the relief efforts, place these at the top of the list.
Thank you!


It's time for lunch, and time to recognize Mr. Darrick McNeill, principal of West Smithfield Elementary for National Principals Month!
A former JCPS Assistant Principal of the Year, Mr. McNeill is making great strides with the Eagle family. A JCPS team member for many years, we thank you for your continued commitment!
Eagles let's give a round of applause for Mr. McNeill!š¦

Did you know...
JCPS is 1 of 12 districts to exceed pre-pandemic achievement?
Not only that, six of our amazing schools exited low performing status. All student subgroups are above pre-pandemic achievement, and JCPS is closing the achievement gaps.

September 15th marks the beginning of National Hispanic Heritage Month and runs until October 15th. During this time, Mr. McNeill highlights the accomplishments and contributions of famous Hispanic Americans in the morning announcements. Staff and students learn of these great men and women along with Hispanic cultures and traditions. Pictured below is our own Aziel A. who brought his country's flag to share with us.

Based on the current weather forecast, Johnston County Public Schools will continue normal operations on Monday, September 16, 2024. However, all after-school and evening campus activities and events have been canceled due to the forecast.
We understand that this decision will inconvenience many after-school events, however, student and staff safety is our primary concern.
It is our districtās goal to make our school communities as prepared as possible for emergency situations, including inclement weather. This decision has been made out of an abundance of caution, per the guidance of local and state emergency service officials.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we navigate this storm event. We encourage everyone to follow the guidance of local weather officials, and have a safe evening!
