Hello, OCS Family! We hope you are enjoying your last weeks of summer! As a reminder, today was the last day of summer meal service at all sites. We look forward to resuming food service for students when school starts back on August 23.
COASTAL ELEMENTARY DEDICATION
On Thursday, elected officials and members of the community gathered to celebrate the opening of Coastal Elementary School in Holly Ridge.
Coastal Elementary will be the district’s 21st elementary school and 40th physical facility. The school will address overcrowding at Dixon Elementary and can house approximately 850 students.
Also dedicated on Thursday, was the school’s media center, which has been named Pamela E. Thomas Media Center in honor of the late Onslow County Board of Education Chair Pam Thomas.
We look forward to filling this school with students on August 23!
