🎨🎶National Arts in Education Week🎨🎶
Croatan High School is proud to recognize National Arts in Education Week by celebrating the outstanding educators who lead and inspire our students through the arts.
We are fortunate to have:
Emily Rinehart and Shannon Kirkpatrick - Visual Arts
Ashton Humphrey - Choir and Drama
Kinsey Holland - Band
Their dedication extends far beyond the classroom - through concerts, art shows, drama productions, athletic events, and so much more, they enrich the lives of our students and strengthen our school community.
We are grateful for the many ways our arts educators encourage creativity, expression, and excellence at Croatan High School.

September 11, 2001 – We Remember
Today, Croatan High School pauses to honor the lives lost and the heroes who emerged on September 11, 2001. Our campus observed a moment of silence, and our flags fly at half-staff as a tribute to the strength and resilience of our nation.
Teachers also take time to remind students of the lessons we have carried forward from this day—unity, courage, and the importance of coming together as a country in the face of adversity.
We will never forget.
