Nash County Public Schools

We're not just hiring, we're growing our NCPS family! 🌟 At Nash County Public Schools, every staff member helps shape the foundation for student success. As Bre’On Hatch, a talented student from Rocky Mount Middle School, puts it: “My artwork displays a visual perspective of everyday life in our school system. Being a student is one of the most memorable milestones in our lives. Teachers and staff play a major role in molding this foundation for us to be successful. When you genuinely have a passion for what you love, it’s more family-oriented. We are one big melting pot of guidance and success, which makes an impact on everyone. At the end of the day, it’s not just a team... we’re a family!” Ready to make an impact? 💼 Apply now: https://ncpschools.schoolspring.com/ #NCPSFamily #NowHiring #WeAreNCPS #MakeADifference #JoinOurTeam #NCPSchools

Big moment for Northern Nash! 🏈 On Friday, June 6, Northern Nash High School celebrated the ribbon cutting of their brand-new field house. “This fieldhouse is more than brick and mortar. It's a place where athletes will train, where leaders will be developed, and where lifelong memories will be made,” said Angie Miller, Special Assistant of Auxiliary Services, Operations, and Wellness. Head Football Coach Andrew Farriss added, “Being able to walk out the locker room doors and be right on the practice field is going to be huge for us... The facilities inside will make coaching duties easier and more convenient, as well.” Superintendent Dr. Steve Ellis shared his thanks: “To our coaches, our families, our school board, our construction teams, and this incredible community — thank you.” This marks the final field house needed in the district: 🏫 2001 – NCHS 🏫 2011 – SNHS 🏫 2012 – RMHS 🏫 2025 – NNHS ✔️ Check out photos from this milestone moment and help us celebrate the future of Northern Nash athletics! 💚 To see some amazing drone footage by Garry Hodges, visit https://youtu.be/itJoPDO1SRE #KnightPride #FieldHouseFinale #NCPSchools #nashcountypublicschools #ncps #nashcounty

He believed coaching was one of life’s greatest callings, where lessons in teamwork, discipline, humility, and leadership are learned on and off the field.

Due to statewide disruptions with the online EOG/EOC testing platform today, many of our students experienced technical issues impacting the completion of their test. Due to the varying levels of technical difficulties at each school, students across the district were impacted differently. We understand this is frustrating and appreciate your patience as we work with NCPDI to ensure all students have an equal opportunity to complete their EOG/EOCs. If needed, further guidance regarding EOG/EOC testing will come directly from your child's school.
