North Carolina requires that children entering Kindergarten, 7th, and 12th grade receive updated routine vaccinations. They provide protection from serious illnesses such as polio, tetanus, pertussis, measles, and others, like varicella, can prevent health problems years down the road. If you have questions about what vaccines your child needs, talk to your child’s medical provider or schedule an appointment at the Immunizations Clinic at Catawba County Public Health by calling 828-695-5881. If you are concerned about cost, the Vaccines for Children program may be able to help. Call Catawba County Public Health to find out about eligibility.

Parents, check out the supply list for the 2025-2026 School Year! The list is now live on our website.

Parents, Wednesday and Thursday are makeup and readministration testing days for students who missed an EOG exam or those who were close to passing.

Teachers will contact parents of students who need to return to retake any exams. 6th and 7th grade parents, please note that EOG scores are a factor in placing students in classes and determining awards and scholarships. Early college high schools in the county use these scores as part of their acceptance process. Students who aspire to go to HCAM, Challenger, Discovery, or CORE are highly encouraged to retake any EOGs they are eligible for. You can contact your child's teacher if you have any questions.
