Principal's Corner

Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome to North Whiteville Academy!

Welcome to another “GREAT” year at NWA! It is truly a privilege to serve this school community where every staff member builds positive relationships with students and families. North Whiteville Academy serves grades 7-12. Our school is rich in tradition, and we strive to bring out the best in our students daily. We also strive to create an environment where each student receives the attention necessary to achieve success, and our students work very hard to demonstrate responsibility in all they do.  

We are so fortunate to have a dedicated staff that is committed to academic excellence and the development of the whole child. Our goal is to work collaboratively to provide an inclusive, safe, respectful, and nurturing learning environment that empowers our students to be productive members of this community.  Support services are put into place to assist students obtain a high school diploma and transition into the community college setting or workforce.

It takes a village to raise a child; therefore, we encourage our parents to play a positive role in the educational process.  When positive partnerships are formed between the home, school, and community, our students are successful. A couple of key points for your student to be successful:

• your student should come to school expecting to learn and willing to work. 

• attending school regularly will keep your student on track.

We look forward to a productive year! Parents, you should have received your letters from me by now of your individual appointments. Our Open House will be Thursday, August 24th from 1-3 pm. Please feel free to stop by or call me with your comments or concerns. I welcome the opportunity to work with you.

Sincerely, 

April Corbett,

NWA Principal
