Hello, OCS Family! Find the latest district news and updates below.
OCS APOY ANNOUNCED
Donna Chadwick, of Jacksonville Commons Elementary School, has been named the 2020-2021 Assistant Principal of the Year by Onslow County Schools!
Superintendent Dr. Barry Collins, Deputy Superintendent Dr. Beth Folger, and a group of district administrators joined Chadwick’s family in surprising her with the news at her school on September 22.
Chadwick has been an assistant principal for three years, all of which have been spent at Jacksonville Commons Elementary. Prior to becoming an administrator, she was an elementary school teacher and a Title I Reading Specialist.
In her nomination letter, JCE Principal Deborah Hoffman said that Chadwick is a strong advocate for teachers and students, having spent countless hours finding ways to improve instruction in her school.
Hoffman also said, however, that Chadwick is not just about academics.
“She is also the master of staff morale,” said Hoffman. “She brings ‘the happy.’ Donna’s happy-go-lucky personality is consistent, and it is authentic. People – staff, students, parents, strangers – are drawn to her.”
Congratulations, Mrs. Chadwick!
2020 CENSUS
Wednesday, September 30, is the deadline to complete the census! Currently, Onslow county has a self-response rate of just 57.1 percent. With your help, we can get a complete count for our community!
Your response to the census could help our community gain access to millions of dollars in federal funding over the next 10 years. If you have already submitted your census form, check in with your friends and neighbors and encourage them to do the same!
