On September 30, Neuse Charter School finally had a ceremony for the groundbreaking of the new building.
Students, staff, family members, and NCS board members attended the ceremony.
This is a huge milestone for Neuse Charter. Soon, the school will have a proper building so students can learn and thrive.
The ceremony started off with a prayer by the pastor of Grace Community Assembly of God. Afterward, people of the Board began to speak highly of Neuse, its history, and its accomplishments.
The new building is expected to be completed in late August or mid-September. As soon as the building finishes, students will start moving into it.
Joel Erby, high school principal of Neuse, said, “I’m excited because administration tried hard to design the building and colors and all that.” He also expressed hope that this progression will attract more students to Neuse Charter.
David House, senior, thought that it was inspiring and that the gold shovels were an interesting feature.
Gloria Brindle, middle school teacher, said that her favorite part was when the national anthem was sung and when NCS senior and student council president Mark Fang spoke.
Brindle also said that she liked that there were community members present. She thought it was neat that they showed up to support us.
