ECPS:

  The Edgecombe County Public School System is committed to continuous improvement and helping each student reach full potential by providing the maximum educational opportunities. Educators are encouraged to use innovative teaching methods and modern technology to meet individual needs.

      Edgecombe schools are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and have demonstrated continuous academic growth under No Child Left Behind and the NC ABCs Accountability Program. All schools use data-driven decisions to improve student achievement through Professsional Learning Communities. The state recently recognized 10 ECPS schools for accomplishments in the NC Positive Behavior Support Program.
   
       ECPS supplements the NC Standard Course of Study to facilitate learning. Elementary level programs including Ready Schools, First School, Power of K, and an early childhood learning center help young students get a good start.
   
      Three traditional high schools operate with concentrated scheduling known as “4x4.” A close relationship with Edgecombe Community College offers dual enrollment and an Early College High School. In 2009, ECPS became the first NC district to fully implement a cutting edge 1:1 Laptop Program at the high school level.

      Business relationships, community/parent involvement, and an aggressive pursuit of outside funding provide additional resources for the district. Recent grants from the Golden LEAF Foundation, Dell, Intel, SAS and others support the commitment to incorporate advanced technology into the teaching/learning process. The Edgecombe County school district is focused on meeting the needs of 21st Century students and the work force of the future.
