1:1 Program

The Onslow County Schools 1:1 Program empowers over 27,000 students across 43 schools by providing each student with a personal device every school year. Launched in 2014 and expanded to all grades (K-12) by 2020, this program transforms education by enabling personalized learning, fostering digital literacy, and ensuring equitable access to technology. Our resilience in the face of challenges like Hurricane Florence and COVID-19 underscores our commitment to uninterrupted learning for students, educators, and parents.
