✨You're invited to a Special SEADOGS Legacy Event!✨
At Beaufort Elementary School, being a Seadog means being part of something truly special 💙
The Seadog name carries generations of pride in Beaufort. Originally the mascot of the former Beaufort High School, the Seadog legacy became part of local history before the school later transitioned into what is now East Carteret High School, home of the Mariners ⚓🌊 While the high school mascot retired, Beaufort Elementary proudly carries on the Seadog tradition today, connecting students to a powerful story of school pride, perseverance, and community ❤️
And what a legacy it is 🏀✨
Inside the historic former Beaufort High School gym, now beautifully restored as the Mainsail Event Center, history still echoes through the walls. The Beaufort Seadogs boys basketball team won three consecutive North Carolina state championships from 1959–1961, a feat that still stands today as the only public high school in North Carolina history to win three straight Class A state championships 🏆🏆🏆
Even more remarkable, the Seadogs also set a state record that still stands today with 91 consecutive wins between 1958 and 1962, the longest boys basketball winning streak in North Carolina high school history 🔥🏀
This summer, the Seadog story will be celebrated as part of the 65th Annual Old Homes Tour & More in Historic Beaufort 🏡⚓ The restored Beaufort High School campus, now home to the Mulberry Site Condominium Homes and Mainsail Event Center, will be featured on the tour June 26–27. Visitors can see renovated classrooms turned into homes and the historic gym transformed into a beautiful event venue.
🎥 A special Seadogs Legacy Celebration hosted by the Beaufort Historical Association will also take place at Mainsail on Saturday, June 27, from 5:00–7:00 PM, featuring memorabilia, a community reunion, and a documentary honoring the legendary basketball team. The reception is FREE and no ticket is required! 💙
For Beaufort Elementary students, who got to film a quick cameo appearance for the documentary, being a Seadog means carrying forward a legacy of excellence, resilience, and pride that has shaped this community for generations 🌱⚓

Today, we’re shining the spotlight on Beaufort Elementary School—a school rich in tradition, community pride, and a deep commitment to helping every child succeed ❤️
Located in the heart of Beaufort and adjacent to Beaufort Middle School, BES has long been a cornerstone of the community 🌊📚 The school proudly carries the Seadog name, preserving an important piece of local history from the former Beaufort High School, now a cherished historic site repurposed within the community ⚓💙
At Beaufort Elementary, tradition and innovation go hand in hand ✨ Students are challenged through rigorous academic programs, engaging instruction, and dynamic classrooms intentionally designed for student success 📖➕ Teachers and staff work every day to create meaningful learning experiences that help students grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
And what makes BES truly special? The culture ❤️
This is a school where positivity, belonging, and strong character matter. Through the Positivity Project, students learn valuable character strengths and what it means to care for themselves and others 🤝🌟 Schoolwide experiences like this year’s One Book, One School initiative, where guest readers joined in to share chapters of a schoolwide story, help create connection, excitement, and a shared love of learning 📚✨
Our School Resource Officer is also a big part of the Seadog family 🚔💙 More than just a familiar face, he builds relationships, supports students, and helps create a school environment where children feel safe, connected, and cared for. And yes, recently students even got the chance to “tape” the SRO to the wall during a fun school activity 😂🩹, proving that joy, laughter, and strong relationships are all part of the BES experience.
BES is known for beloved traditions and community events that bring families together year after year 🎉 From participating in Young Waterfowlers Day by wearing camouflage 🦆🌾 to honoring those who have served during the school’s meaningful Veterans Day Assembly, Beaufort Elementary embraces experiences that connect students to the community and traditions around them.
A strong and supportive PTO also plays an important role in the success of BES 💙 From encouraging staff and supporting students to helping provide resources where needs exist, the PTO helps strengthen the school community and ensure students have opportunities to thrive 🤝
And if you’ve ever driven through the Beaufort Elementary car line, you know exactly what we mean 🚗🎶 Costumes, music, smiles, and staff energy help set the tone each day, creating a welcoming, joyful environment where students feel seen, celebrated, and ready to learn from the moment they arrive 💙

Today, we’re shining the spotlight on Newport Elementary School—a school rooted in tradition, strong academics, and a community that takes care of one another ❤️
The Newport school community has been shaping young minds for generations. Beginning with Newport Consolidated School around 1926, local students attended school together from the elementary years all the way through high school 🌱 For decades, it served as an important gathering place and cornerstone of the Newport community.
As Carteret County grew and schools evolved, a new chapter began. When West Carteret High School opened in 1963, Newport’s high school students transitioned there, bringing the era of the consolidated school to a close. Over time, elementary and middle grades evolved into the separate Newport schools we know and love today—continuing a long tradition of learning, connection, and community 💙
At Newport Elementary, learning is hands-on and meaningful every day 💡 From strong math and reading instruction ➕📖 to creative art experiences 🎨, engaging classroom activities, and exciting field trips 🚍, students are growing academically while discovering new passions along the way.
But what makes Newport Elementary truly special is its people 💙 Families, staff, and students form a close-knit, caring school community—one that celebrates successes, supports one another, and always steps up when someone needs help 🤝
At Newport Elementary, students are building strong foundations, lasting friendships, and the confidence to thrive—both inside and outside the classroom 🌟
