Piney Grove

LUMBERTON — Piney Grove Pioneers are embarking on a year of discovery and innovation.

The Pioneer spirit is rooted in moving forward — exploring new possibilities, embracing challenges and continuing to grow. That same spirit will guide students and staff throughout the school year as they work together to strengthen academic achievement and create classrooms where learning and innovation thrive.

“At Piney Grove Elementary, we believe our students are our greatest investment. We are proud of the academic progress our school has made and remain committed to ensuring every child continues to grow and succeed,” Principal Kendra Deese said.

Piney Grove began the school year building on strong academic momentum after earning a “C” School Performance Grade, with sights set on continued growth and achieving a “B” designation. 

That pursuit is grounded in continuous learning, intentional instruction and high expectations for every student. With teachers and staff united around a shared commitment to excellence, Piney Grove is creating an environment where every child is challenged, supported and equipped to reach their full potential. 

As Piney Grove Pioneers journey through another school year, the path ahead is about more than academic achievement. It is about fostering curiosity, building confidence and equipping students with the knowledge and skills they need to discover what is possible.

“Our students are the heart of everything we do. When we commit to continuous learning and purposeful action, we create opportunities for every child to succeed,” Deese said.
