Congratulations to NCAPCS member, ArtSpace Charter School, on being selected by the state as a National ESEA Distinguished School for exceptional student achievement! Located in Swannanoa, the designation follows the school's top 10 recognition based on student growth, then top scores in its educational portfolio and site visit.
Dr. Sarena Fuller, Executive Director, says, "I am so proud of our students and staff. This is a prestigious honor at any time, but especially after the challenges of a few 'pandemic years.' Through all the ups and downs, ArtSpace prioritized connections and the importance of teaching the whole child. As a result, our students are happy, learning, and growing- meeting or exceeding measures in every subgroup and subject area. This success can be attributed to the strength of the learning community- our staff, students, families, and supporters. We are grateful."

Dear NC Public Charter Members,
As we continue to see senseless violent tragedies in our nation’s schools, and we continue to see communities of all sorts fall victim to these tragedies, we must recognize that these events can and do happen anywhere. We must also recognize these events impact more than just those at the schools which are directly affected.
School safety is a shared responsibility and with our new partners in school safety, CrisisGo is here to help you do everything in your power to keep your schools and communities safe. I am attaching one of their flyers as a reminder of their services. If you need assistance, please reach out to them.
