Morehead City Elementary School at Camp Glenn

Morehead City, NC 28557
A brief history of Camp Glenn School:
"In the year of Morehead
City's 100th Centennial Celebration (1957), the school situation was
simple and clearly defined. The students east of the 24th Street Bridge
attended grades 1-8 at Morehead City Graded School on Bridges Street.
Those west of the bridge attended Camp Glenn school...
"The early 1960s brought major changes. Such words as 'consolidation'
and 'integration' began to be publicly discussed. ...The downtown Morehead
school building [the old graded school on Bridges Street] served all
first through sixth graders living east of 24th Street and the Camp Glenn
school served all those students living west of 24th Street. Full integration
had become a reality in Morehead City.
In the early 1980s "...Camp Glenn School [began serving]
all K-3 students.
"Morehead Primary School was opened off Country Club
Road around 1995 to house all grade K-3. Camp Glenn School was renamed
Morehead City Elementary School at Camp Glenn and housed only grades
4-5." This is the same today.
