🎉 Employee Spotlight on Joanna Boyles! 🎉
Joanna Boyles is the heart and soul of Topsail Middle School, going above and beyond for both students and staff. She juggles countless responsibilities with competence, humor, humility, and compassion. Last year, in addition to serving as assistant principal, she took on roles as testing coordinator, bus coordinator, and dean of students—all while leading the school in the absence of a principal.
Her impact is felt in every corner of the school, from supporting struggling students to chaperoning the 8th grade field trip to Raleigh. She leads with trust, flexibility, and an unwavering commitment to doing what is best for students.
💬 “She trusts in us to do our jobs well and matches it with the conviction to do her own even better.”
Thank you, Ms. Boyles, for your dedication and leadership!

📣 Dr. Breedlove’s “Listen & Learn” Tour Stops at Topsail Middle! 🏴☠️
Dr. Breedlove spent the day at Pirate Nation, meeting with Dr. McNaughton and his dedicated staff. These visits are an opportunity to hear directly from those who make our schools great—our educators and support teams—who work hard every day to create a positive learning environment.
But the highlight of the visit? Connecting with students. Dr. Breedlove believes the best way to understand what’s happening in our schools is by speaking with students on their level, hearing their thoughts, and learning about their experiences firsthand. Their voices help shape the future of Pender County Schools.
Thank you, Topsail Middle, for the warm welcome and for sharing your insights! #OnePender
