Today, we are beyond proud to celebrate our principal, Ms. April Perkins, for being named the 2026 Pender County Schools Principal of the Year!
This recognition is so well deserved and such a reflection of the care, encouragement, and love she pour into our students, staff, and families every single day. Whether it’s greeting students in the hallway, supporting teachers, celebrating successes big and small, or simply making Rocky Point feel like home, Ms. Perkins leads with heart first.
Our school is better because of them, and we are so lucky they are our principal. Congratulations on this incredible honor, Ms. Perkins! Your Rams family is cheering so loudly for you today!

This week, we’re celebrating the heart, dedication, patience, creativity, and love our teachers pour into our students every single day. 🍎📚
Students and families from across our district sent in video messages to help us say one big, heartfelt THANK YOU. To make sure every school community can be celebrated together, we’ve combined the messages into one special video per school, and we’ll be sharing them throughout the week. 🎥🏫
These videos are filled with smiles, gratitude, and reminders of the incredible impact teachers make far beyond the classroom. 💛
To every teacher: thank you for showing up, lifting up, encouraging, inspiring, and believing in our students. You are appreciated more than words can say. 🌟
