Jones County Public Schools

Jones County Public Schools is grateful for the opportunity to be the first district in North Carolina to offer grant-funded professional development supported by the NCSSA, the North Carolina Alliance for School Leadership. Our lead teachers and principals do excellent work!

Jones County Public Schools was excited to host the NC Teacher of the Year, Ms. Rachel Candaso, for a tour of Trenton Elementary early this morning. Ms. Candaso was guided around the building with two of our 5th-grade leaders, as well as Trenton Elementary Principal, Ms. Donna Higgins. It was a special opportunity to showcase a few of the great things happening daily in our public schools across Jones County.
