What people are saying

by a student
Tuesday, May 1, 2012

I went to Elementary School here. I was an exceptional student in an exceptional school. I enjoyed how the community seemed to come together to support this school. I enjoyed this school and to my opinion it is the best school in Robeson County. I had many excellent teachers who worked hard to prepare their students. I believe if it was not for the little shove Oxendine gave me i would not be currently attending Early College High School. Close Quote
