The Carteret County Public School System serves the students of Carteret County, a county located on the beautiful Crystal Coast of eastern North Carolina. From Cedar Point to Cedar Island there are 85 miles of beautiful coastal scenery, friendly towns, and 17 public schools that are committed to creating opportunities for all students to do their best and to succeed.

The school system employs approximately 1,200 individuals and is the largest employer in the county. The system's student enrollment for the 2007-2008 school year is about 8,185 in kindergarten through 12th grade and about 80 in pre-kindergarten.

Work is progressing on two bond referendums overwhelmingly approved by county voters. Voters approved a two-part $50 million school bond referendum that will address improvements and additions at 14 sites in the county. About 72 percent of the bond projects address health and safety issues. These focus on modifying heating ventilation air conditioning (HVAC) systems to improve humidity control and ventilation, repairing or replacing roofs, and replacing doors and windows. Other work includes air conditioning gyms at four schools and upgrading sewer systems at three schools. The remaining 28 percent address overcrowding and safety concerns and include classroom additions at four schools and the construction of an auditorium.
