Our
home page is designed to acquaint you with our unique island school setting.
We are a true community school surrounded by a maritime environment. As noted
in our web site, our students are involved in many academic and
extra-curricular activities.
We
are proud of our school. For the 1998-1999 and 1999-2000 school
years, HIES was recognized as a School of Distinction. In those same
two years, we gained the status of being one of North Carolina's Top 25 Most
Improved Schools. In 1999-2000, we were ranked as the number one Most
Improved School. Since 2000, each year we have achieved the status of
School of Excellence. In 2004-2005, we ranked as one of NC's Top
25 Most Improved Schools for the third time.
Our
goal for the future is to continue to provide a quality education. We
commit ourselves to our profession and understand the impact our actions
have on the lives of all students. Therefore we promise to constantly
evaluate our instructional strategies, always striving to achieve excellence.
I welcome
you to our web site.
