We are pleased to announce Mrs. Rebecca Murray as our new Youth Development Coordinator, bringing a deeply experienced local professional into this vital Central Office position. Mrs. Murray transitions into this new role with a 20-year career spanning school administration, emergency medical services, and juvenile legal framework. For the past seven years, she has served as a School Secretary at Perquimans County High School, where she built trusted relationships with families, de-escalated complex situations, and directly supported student attendance and discipline initiatives. Her commitment to public safety is further demonstrated by her service as an EMT-B with Perquimans County Emergency Management, proving her ability to lead and care for others during critical, high-stress incidents. Her professional background aligns perfectly with the legal and community responsibilities of her new role, which includes overseeing the Teen Court, Restitution, and Social Thinking Options (STOP) programs.

Prior to working for Perquimans County schools, Mrs. Murray previously spent nearly six years working alongside the Perquimans County Attorney and Social Services Legal Counsel, gaining extensive hands-on experience preparing cases, attending court hearings, and navigating legal proceedings. This deep knowledge of the juvenile justice system, combined with her strong ties to local families, makes her uniquely equipped to serve as the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council (JCPC) Secretary and act as a critical bridge between school settings, families, and court counselors. Please join Perquimans County Schools in welcoming Mrs. Murray to the Central Office team as she steps into this crucial role to champion the success and safety of our community's youth!

Perquimans County Schools recently joined local and regional public safety partners for an informational session with Critical Response Group (CRG) at College of The Albemarle in Elizabeth City.

The session focused on CRG’s mapping technology and how critical incident mapping can support communication and coordination among schools, 911, law enforcement, fire, and EMS during an emergency.

We are grateful for the continued collaboration of our public safety partners as we work together to strengthen emergency preparedness and help keep our students, staff, and community safe.

One Crew. One Course. One Child at a Time.

A Proud Final Chapter for Hertford Grammar School!

When Hertford Grammar School learned it would be consolidated with Perquimans County Middle School, the HGS team set out to make its final year one to remember.

They set three BIG goals, and accomplished all three! 💙

⭐ STEM School of Distinction
⭐ Capturing Kids’ Hearts National Showcase School
⭐ Exceeded State Growth

“I am incredibly proud to celebrate our team accomplishing all three,” said former Principal Dr. John Lassiter.

These achievements are a fitting tribute to the generations of hard work, innovation, and commitment that defined HGS. While one chapter has closed, the very best of Hertford Grammar School continues forward as we create new opportunities for the children of Perquimans County.

Congratulations to the entire HGS family on an incredible legacy!

STEM excellence is shining across North Carolina! Congratulations to nine public schools recognized as 2026 STEM Schools of Distinction!

For Hertford Grammar School (Perquimans County School System), the honor capped its final year. Principal Dr. John Lassiter credited the school’s dedicated staff and leaders, including retired Superintendent Dr. Tanya Turner, for building a culture of innovation and opportunity for every student.
