In our cover story, the Cumberland County Schools’ 2023-24 Principal, Assistant Principal, Teacher, and Beginning Teacher of the Year award winners reflect on their accolades and their call to education.
With public schools starting the first day of classes on Aug. 26, the winners get ready to pass on the baton to the 2024-25 “of the Year” honorees — the 18 finalists of the Principal and Assistant Principal of the Year, who share their thoughts on being finalists and their favorite memories in their role in this issue.
And, in preparation for the start of classes, the Gotcha’ Back School Kickoff returns on Aug. 17 with school supplies giveaways. We also bring you a profile of Kimmi Nettles, the scholarship manager of the Cumberland Community Foundation, who explains the importance of hyper-local scholarships for local students’ continued education.
To finish things off, we have a sponsored feature on Cape Fear Valley Health System’s Community Paramedics Program, and how it complements CFVHS’s services.
Column staples that you know and love return, as well as a special column from our publisher Kyle Villemain and a history column about Alexander Graham.
