area. High quality staff, state of the art facilities and technology, and
innovative programs help provide the 21st century skills students need
to be competitive in today’s workforce. Each of these attributes has
contributed to Currituck County Schools maintaining one of the highest
graduation rates in the state and student achievement in K-8 ranking
among the top in the region.
The district’s nearly 4,000 students are served by ten schools; six

The J. P. Knapp Early College High School is an innovative high school
that works in collaboration with the College of The Albemarle, offering
both traditional face-to-face and online courses to students as early
as the freshman year. Students who apply and are accepted into this
innovative high school have the opportunity to earn both a high school
diploma and up to two years of transferable college credit (Core 44 or
Associates Degree) at no cost to parents.
Earning transferrable college credit while in high school is not limited
to students attending J. P. Knapp Early College High School. Currituck
County High School students who maintain a GPA of 3.0 through the
sophomore year are eligible for dual enrollment at The College of the
Albemarle’s main campus or COA’s Currituck County Regional Aviation
and Technical Training Center campus. Eligible students earn college
credits while meeting high school graduation requirements through
the North Carolina Career and College Promise Program. In addition,
students who choose a more traditional high school experience at
CCHS can take advantage of a wide variety of Career and Technical
Education (CTE) programs such as Agriculture Education, Business
and Information Technology Education, Health Science, Family and
Consumer Sciences Education, Career Development, Marketing
Education, Technology Education and Trade, Industrial Education, and
Public Safety. Upon completion of a selected CTE pathway, students
are eligible to earn credentials which can assist in obtaining entry
level positions in the related workforce field immediately following
graduation. Clubs, band, chorus, art, and a full athletic program are
also part of this traditional high school experience.
