Three days before a Lenoir County resident was tested for the novel coronavirus, North Carolina public schools were ordered to shut down.
And eight days after Lenoir County Public Schools did so with really no choice, the resident received the first lab-confirmed positive test in the county – on March 24, 2020. I don’t think that anyone imagined exactly what was about to happen locally and around the world last year at this time, LCPS superintendent Brent Williams said. In what seemed to be an instant, the uncertainty of the COVID-19 virus turned the world upside down.

Three young women who put their hearts into teaching Lenoir County Public Schools’ youngest students have surfaced as finalists for the district honor of 2021-2022 Teacher of the Year.
Selection of Shalona Newkirk of Northwest Elementary School, Heather Sloan of Banks Elementary School and Darylanne Towery of Contentnea-Savannah K-8 School was announced Wednesday afternoon after a panel of judges had completed virtual interviews with 18 nominees – each school’s choice as Teacher of the Year for 2021-2022.
“Let me say you are all winners,” district human resources director Pam Health, who directs the Teacher of the Year program, told nominees gathered virtually for the announcement of finalists. “It was so hard to narrow down. There are only three slots and every one of you deserves one of those three slots. You made us so proud.”
