LCLA Celebrated Its Wonderful Custodian this Week!

06/30/2026

Lenoir County Public Schools is excited to announce two more leadership appointments for the 2026-27 school year!

Congratulations to Keiara Morris, who has been named the next principal of Rochelle Middle School. Morris currently serves as assistant principal at North Lenoir High School and brings years of experience and a deep commitment to LCPS to her new role. She began her career in Lenoir County Public Schools, previously serving at Rochelle Middle School and Northeast Elementary before gaining additional administrative experience in another district. She later returned to LCPS, where she has helped lead North Lenoir High School with distinction. Now, she returns to Rochelle to lead the Jr. Vikings, bringing with her a passion for student success and a familiarity with the school community.

Congratulations also to Nicolette Morgan, who has been named assistant principal at North Lenoir High School. Morgan has served Lenoir County Public Schools since 2007 and currently serves as curriculum specialist at Northwest Elementary School. During her career, she has also served at Contentnea-Savannah K-8, where she built a reputation as an outstanding instructional leader. At Northwest, she has played a key role in the school's tremendous academic growth, supporting teachers, strengthening curriculum, and helping students excel, particularly in mathematics. Her dedication to excellence and collaborative leadership make her a perfect fit for the leadership team at North Lenoir.

As we celebrate these new appointments, we also want to express our sincere gratitude to Terry Wooten for her remarkable leadership at Rochelle Middle School. During her tenure, Rochelle reached new heights, finishing among the top five percent of middle schools in North Carolina while excelling across nearly every measure of student performance. We wish her nothing but the best in her next chapter.

Please join us in congratulating Ms. Morris and Ms. Morgan on their new leadership roles. We can't wait to see all they accomplish in the year ahead!

✨ Big news: LCPS is getting a brand-new online home.

Today, we're beginning the launch of our new district and school websites, designed to make it easier for students, families, staff, and our community to find the information they need and stay connected to everything happening across Lenoir County Public Schools.

As we update our systems, some visitors may still see our previous websites while others may already be viewing the new versions. This is a normal part of the transition as internet providers update their records over the next several hours.

During this time, website appearances and content may vary depending on your device, browser, or internet provider. Think of it as a digital grand opening happening in real time!

If you see the old site, hang tight. If you see the new one, welcome to the future of LCPS online.

Thank you for your patience as we launch a new online experience for our students, families, staff, and community. We can't wait for everyone to see what's next.

🧬 Virtual Reality in the Classroom! 🥽

Mr. Freeman’s biology students took a deep dive into cell composition using VR! It was the perfect resource for reinforcement and differentiation during their "Sweet Success Focused Finish" wrap-up. Way to bring science to life, Mr. Freeman! 🙌
