Principal's Corner

Dear North Whiteville Academy Families,

Welcome to North Whiteville Academy! I am very excited to be serving as the new principal here. Prior to becoming principal, I served as an assistant principal at Lumberton Sr. High School. Before my experience as an administrator, I taught at Central Middle School for 6 years and coached basketball and football. I am a Columbus County native and feel grateful to be given another opportunity to have a positive impact on the lives of the youth here. 

North Whiteville Academy serves grades 7-12 in an alternative setting opposed to the traditional structure of other schools within the Whiteville City Schools district. We strive to create an environment that supports all of the social and emotional needs of each student, so that they can be successful. The staff here tries to make sure that students here are equipped with the tools and resources that they need in order to achieve success. Our goal is to help students obtain their high school diploma and transition into post-secondary education, seek employment, or enlist into a military branch. We hope that as our students reach their aspirations, they will be prepared and have the tools necessary to be successful.  

As we prepare to start the 2024-2025 school year, there are several things that you can do to try to make sure that students are prepared. Begin having students follow nightly routines to ensure that they will be properly rested when they arrive at school. Also have students begin to limit their screen time with technology so that their transition back to school will be smooth and their minds will be prepared for the learning that will take place inside of the classrooms. 

Over the next few weeks, I will be contacting you to schedule a meeting. This meeting is mandatory and needs to be conducted before the start of school. Please bring your child and proof of residency with you. This meeting will take roughly an hour to complete.

Thank you for help in making this school year successful,

Jamal Soles

Principal, North Whiteville Academy
