Middle school instructional teams came together this week for a day of reflection, celebration, planning, and preparation. Teams reviewed student outcomes, celebrated successes, identified opportunities for growth, and collaborated on priorities for the year ahead.

Their dedication to continuous improvement and student success continues to strengthen teaching and learning across our middle schools. We appreciate their commitment to ensuring every student has the opportunity to thrive!

Our Superintendent, Dr. Stephen Fisher, has been awarded the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, one of North Carolina’s highest honors for public service, presented by the Governor’s Office of North Carolina.

This recognition reflects a career dedicated to students, educators, and communities across our state, but those of us in Cleveland County know it also reflects something more. Dr. Fisher has never simply worked for Cleveland County Schools. He has believed in Cleveland County Schools.

Throughout his leadership, Dr. Fisher has championed our mission of Cultivating Excellence, always keeping students at the center of every decision and encouraging our staff to pursue the very best for every child. His commitment to public education, his steady leadership, and his genuine care for our schools have helped shape the success of our district and the futures of countless students.

As he prepares to conclude his service with Cleveland County Schools later this month, we are grateful for his leadership and proud to see him receive this well-earned recognition.

Thank you, Dr. Fisher, for your dedication to Cleveland County Schools, your belief in our students and staff, and your lasting impact on our community!

Summer learning for our school staff is already in full swing!

Cleveland County Schools is proud to launch a high-impact professional development series focused on the power of co-teaching. This week, building administrators, EC facilitators, and 4th and 5th grade teaching teams came together to strengthen how we deliver Specially Designed Instruction (SDI).

Led by national expert Dr. Tammy Barron, teams are moving beyond traditional models and embracing high-impact, data-driven co-teaching strategies. When general education and special education professionals combine their expertise, students win!

We are very proud of the leadership and dedication shown by our principals and teachers and excited for the great work ahead!
