Culture Eats Structure for Lunch!

Joyner's not just a school, it's a community. It's not a place to be for six years of your life, it's a place that will change the rest of your life.

International Parade





Our International Parade is something that our students look forward to every year. Our Spanish Team puts a lot of work into laying out the costumes, the parade order and the parade route. It is a favorite of students and staff.

Veterans Day in Boston


My family and I spent Veterans Day weekend in Boston. It is one of the most beautiful and historic cities in the United States and one of my favorites.


We had a great time at Harvard!


We visited the Old North Church and heard the "inside" story of the ride of Paul Revere.


On Salem Street, in the Old North End, we stumbled upon the MOST AMAZING Italian Bakery (Bova's)


We also visited the site of Boston Latin School, America's First Organized School, whose graduates included four signers of the Declaration of Independence, including Benjamin Franklin.


The highlight of our trip was seeing Melissa McLaughlin, a former Joyner teacher who now teaches in the Boston area. We really miss her!

Congratulations to Debra Pitt


Mrs. Pitt was recognized recently as an Office Max National "Day Made Better" Teacher. The award was presented at the North Carolina Farmer's Market as part of a Field Trip her children were attending (She was VERY SURPRISED!) Ms. Pitt is an outstanding teacher and every day with her is a "Day Made Better!"
