A big congratulations goes out to Beaufort, Bertie, Burke, Columbus, Gates, Lenoir, Macon, Nash, Randolph, and Surry counties! These 10 counties will get the financial support they need to build and improve their schools.
Every single one of these grants came from money raised by the lottery.
Here’s how your play will benefit students in these counties:
Beaufort County Schools – $42 million will combine Eastern Elementary with John Cotten Tayloe Elementary into a single pre-K through 3rd grade school
Bertie County Schools – $15 million will add a Career and Technical Education (CTE) wing to Bertie High School
Burke County Public Schools – $42 million to build a new school in the eastern end of the county
Columbus County Schools – $52 million will consolidate K-8 classes at East Columbus Junior-Senior High, Acme Delco Elementary, and Hallsboro-Artesia Elementary into one campus. Both Acme Delco and Hallsboro-Artesia were originally built in the 1950s.
Gates County Public Schools – $4.6 million for renovations to Buckland Elementary School and T.S. Cooper Elementary School
Lenoir County Public Schools – $52 million to replace E.B. Frink Middle School
Macon County Public Schools – $62 million for a new Franklin High School
Nash County Schools – $40 million to build a new middle school on the southern end of the county
Randolph County (Asheboro City Schools) – $29.7 million to revitalize the 62-year-old South Asheboro Middle School
Surry County (Mount Airy City Schools) – $2.6 million to update a building at Mount Airy High School for its CTE program
In total, 55 counties across North Carolina have received grants just like these, since the start of the Needs-Based Public School Capital Fund grant in 2017. Thank you for supporting this great cause.
