🏴☠️🎉 The answers are in, Pirate Family! 🎉🏴☠️
Did you guess them all? 👀💙
These familiar faces once walked the halls of Atlantic Elementary as students—and today, they’re back serving the next generation of Pirates 🌊📚
✨ Holly Styron
✨ Leslee Fulcher
✨ Sarah Block
✨ Deidre Arthur
✨ Faith Ann Styron
✨ Hazel Taylor
✨ Ben Johnson
We were able to locate yearbook photos for most of our AES alumni staff—but for Hazel Taylor and Ben Johnson, we couldn’t find archived yearbook images this time 📸
So here’s your challenge, Pirate Family 👀👇
Do you have an old AES yearbook or childhood photo that might feature Ms. Taylor or Mr. Johnson at AES? Help us uncover those memories, and post them here! 💙🏴☠️
At Atlantic Elementary, this is what makes our school so special—a legacy of students returning home to teach, lead, and give back 🌱
That’s heritage. That’s tradition. That’s Pirate pride. 🏴☠️❤️

Today’s School Social Media Takeover: Atlantic Elementary School! 🌊🏫💙
Welcome to Atlantic, North Carolina — a proud coastal community where tradition, family, and school spirit run deep! ❤️⚓ Today, we’re shining the spotlight on Atlantic Elementary School, a small school with BIG pride! 🌟
Atlantic’s rich educational history dates back more than 120 years. 📚 In 1905, community leaders helped open the Atlantic Graded School, which became the first county graded school and high school in Carteret County. By 1906, students from communities across Down East Carteret County traveled to Atlantic for educational opportunities, and many even boarded with local families to attend school. ✨
In 1950, a new Atlantic School building opened, serving students from Atlantic, Cedar Island, Sea Level, and Stacy. The school remained the heart of the community for generations, with the last graduating class of Atlantic High School graduating in 1965. 🏫💙
Today, Atlantic Elementary continues that proud tradition as a close-knit community school where generations of families have walked the halls and where students are known, loved, and supported. 🫶
As you view today’s photos, you’ll see pieces of Atlantic Elementary’s story — from historic school buildings and class photos to the smiling faces that continue the school’s legacy today. 📸✨
Small school. Big pride. Big heart. 🌊💙
This takeover is part of our Start Here. Stay Here. Grow Here. campaign — highlighting the amazing opportunities available in all Carteret County Public Schools elementary schools! 🌟
