Our Honors English II students stepped into the world of Agatha Christie yesterday as they solved their own Murder on the Orient Express–inspired mystery! 🕵️♂️🚂
Dressed as iconic characters and fully in role, students brought the classic whodunit to life through creative performances, clever clues, and impressive detective work.
So proud of their talent, teamwork, and enthusiasm—what a memorable day in Honors English II! 🎭📚🔎

Get ready to show your Cougar pride! We have some incredibly exciting news to share: our football team is preparing to face Havelock High School in the third round of the state playoffs!
The game is at home this Friday, November 21st, at 7 PM, and we hope our entire Cougar family will show up in force to support them. We are so proud of this team!
To celebrate their success and send them off right, we will be holding a pep rally on Friday at the end of the school day!

Ensure you review the schedule carefully so you know when and where to report.

📝 The Federal Impact Aid Survey is a short form that helps our district receive federal funding to make up for lost local property tax revenue due to federally owned land. It also identifies "federally connected" students, such as those with military parents, to ensure proper support—especially important in our community with many military-connected families.
Thank you for helping us support our school community! 💛#CougarPride #ImpactAid


At Croatan High School, we’re embracing the spirit of World Kindness Day with a “Random Act of Kindness” Challenge! Students and staff are invited to perform a kind act of kindness for a peer, staff member, or neighbor and help spread positivity throughout our school and community.
Kindness can take many forms:
💛 Hold the door for someone.
💬 Send an encouraging message.
🎨 Leave a positive note on someone’s locker.
☕ Surprise a classmate, teacher, or neighbor with a small treat.
🌟 Thank a student or a staff member who makes your day a little brighter.
No act of kindness is too small; it all makes a difference. Let’s see how far we can spread kindness across our campus and beyond. Together, we’ll show what makes Croatan truly special: our caring, connected, and kind community.
Let’s make kindness contagious, Cougars!
