🏫📸 Start Here. Stay Here. Grow Your Knowledge of History Here. 📸🏫
Morehead City Elementary at Camp Glenn tells a story more than a century in the making 🌊
Established in 1906 as Camp Glenn, this site began as a North Carolina National Guard training camp before evolving into something even greater. During World War I, it was transformed into a U.S. Navy base, and by 1920–1921, it became one of the nation’s first Coast Guard air stations ✈️⚓
As the years passed, this historic ground transitioned from preparing soldiers to preparing students. The campus became home to Camp Glenn Elementary, and later, with district growth and reorganization, it evolved into Morehead City Elementary at Camp Glenn—carrying both names and legacies forward.
Today, the school serves as a dedicated grades 4–5 campus, intentionally designed by Carteret County Public Schools to support students as they transition from primary school to middle school—giving them the confidence, independence, and academic foundation they need for what comes next 🌱
From military training grounds to a thriving school community, this campus has always been about preparing for the future—just in different ways.
📸 Take a look at how far we’ve come… and how strong the future is. If you have any memories of Morehead City Elementary or Camp Glenn Elementary, please post your memories or photos. What a history and a legacy!
