February is CTE Month!!
Career and Technical education first officially began in 1917 with the Smith-Huges Act but vocational classes have been around long before when the workforce and the public school system began working together to combine hands-on learning with classroom instruction. Today there are endless CTE possibilities ranging from the healthcare industry, manufacturing, agriculture, public safety & law enforcement, STEM, business, financing, computers, and so much more.
Throughout this month, Hyde County CTE will be showcasing its elite staff members and students!! Be on the lookout for updates and to see what cool things CTE students are doing in their classes.
The Hyde County Board of Education will conduct a Special Meeting via Zoom at 5:00 p.m., on Thursday, December 31, 2020, with the purpose of the Board reviewing and discussing re-opening the schools to students.
Members of the public will be able to view a simulcast on the meeting on the Hyde County Schools website through Facebook Live.

Ok so, she is no senior student at our school campus, but she has such a key role in the running of our school system. Ms. Stewart is our school nurse! This week, we celebrated the National School Nurse Day, and we wanted to take the opportunity to recognize and value her work and contributions to our school community! She works super hard to help keep our students and staff healthy and safe, and even more so in the eve of this pandemic! We appreciate her essential work and want to extend our congratulations on her day! Parents, students and community, how about joining with us in celebrating this amazing staff member at school?
Laker Pride Post!!
We would like to extend our congratulations to the following students at Mattamuskeet Early College High School:
LeAnna Farrow
Charity Spencer
Kriston Spencer
ShiAnn Thompson
These students just earned their Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Certification. This was a 10-hour online certification that is targeted at making a significant and critical impact on decreasing the number of young worker injuries and fatalities in the US. These students have learned how to safety transfer patients, proper body mechanics and on the job safety. They can now recognize, avoid, abate, and prevent safety and health hazards in the workplace. Their certification will never expire.
It is outstanding to see our students working extra hard to complete their high school years with an advantage over everyone else to help them in their future endeavors! Congratulations for your hard work!
