OUR DISTRICT

An enrollment of more than 21,000 students makes the Public Schools of Robeson County one of the largest school systems in the state. Principals, teachers and behind-the-scenes personnel work to provide the young people in our 39 schools an effective education. They also make us one of the largest employers in Robeson County.

The ability to collaborate with the University of North Carolina at Pembroke and Robeson Community College gives us access to programs and facilities that have the potential of adding to what we already offer our students. Additionally, people from these institutions as well as employees of the business and industrial community are active in helping our students make career decisions. Much of that help comes in the form of mentoring and tutoring. Volunteers, likewise, make a positive impact on our schools and students.

All of the aforementioned people, agencies, institutions and organizations working in conjunction with school personnel, students and parents deserve credit for the success the schools have had during the past year.

Because we realize that not all of our students are interested in attending college, we're proud of our Career and Technical Education Programs which emphasize the foundation, employment skills and educational pathways necessary to pursue career interests.

Regardless of where our graduates go, though, it is our ultimate goal to provide our students with the knowledge, skills, and attitude that will ensure each one is a strong student, a confident person, a responsible citizen, and a contributing member of our society. When all of us work together, we can make this happen.
