The Contract


In his own words, Dr. Barry D. Collins, Superintendent of Onslow County Schools, states, “On behalf of the Onslow County Board of Education and all our administrators, teachers, and staff, I would like to thank everyone for their support over the last few years and for their dedication to "Raising the Bar" with us moving forward.

Our goals for this school year and beyond include empowering students, exceeding expectations, and achieving exceptional outcomes. These goals can not only be measured by test scores and data, but by the community and morale we all foster in the coming year. 

The district is committed to providing a safe and secure learning environment for all, refocusing on instruction, and increasing support for our students as we all work together to get back on track.”
