🎓 $726,615 was saved in college tuition in 2026 alone for Carteret County Public School families! That’s based on 804 AP exams passed and the average cost of a three-credit course in the UNC college system.
That savings is because Carteret County Public Schools students are taking more Advanced Placement (AP) exams than ever, earning college credit while saving families money on tuition.
📊 The data:
• 934 AP exams taken in 2026, up from 388 in 2022
• 86% pass rate, meaning students are earning college credit through their hard work
• 604 students took AP exams in 2026, up from 312 in 2022
• 1 in 4 CCPS students took at least one AP class during the 2025–2026 school year
Even better, AP exam participation has grown 2.4 times since 2022, and students continue to achieve a high pass rate, creating more opportunities to earn college credit before graduation.
These results mean more college readiness, more opportunities, and significant savings for Carteret County families. That’s the value of public education at work.
📈 More students. More exams. Strong results. Greater savings for families.

At this morning’s Chamber of Commerce State of the Community Breakfast, Carteret County Public Schools joined Carteret Community College, Carteret Works and Carteret Health Care to highlight how community partnerships are preparing students for careers and strengthening our local workforce, by starting with Careers and Partnerships in Education (CAPE).
While CCPS is ranked #3 in North Carolina academically, programs like our CAPE program help students turn classroom success into career opportunities AND a paycheck through paid internships. And students often stay in these career opportunities after graduation. Through our unique partnership with Carteret Health Care, 112 high school interns have been employed across 19 hospital departments. Thirteen former interns now work at the hospital, while others have pursued CNA training, apprenticeships, phlebotomy and nursing scholarships.
👏 Thank you to ALL of our CAPE partners for investing in our students and our community: Beaufort Hotel, Carteret Health Care, Duke University Marine Lab, Frank Door Company, Kurtis Chevrolet, Parker Offshore, Sanborn Orthodontics, Town of Beaufort and Trinity Center.
Together, we are connecting education to careers and helping students build their futures right here in Carteret County. Start Here. Stay Here. Grow Here. Succeed Here.
