The Tyrrell County Schools Board of Education is excited to announce significant leadership changes aimed at continuing the district's dedication to excellence in education for all students.
Effective immediately, Audrey Curles has been appointed as Acting Superintendent through December 1, 2024.

"Mrs. Curles' extensive experience and deep understanding of our district make her the ideal choice to guide us through this transition period," said Ms. Karen Clough, Chair of the Tyrrell County Schools Board of Education.
Following this transition, Dr. Michael Bracy will step in as Interim Superintendent starting December 2, 2024. Dr. Bracy is a highly respected educator with over 30 years of experience. His career includes a 13-year tenure with Jones County Public Schools, where he served 12 years as superintendent. He has also taken on interim superintendent roles in Camden County Schools and Pender County Schools, along with experience as an interim principal and various administrative positions with the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction.
"Dr. Bracy's extensive experience, particularly in small districts similar to ours, makes him an excellent fit for Tyrrell County Schools," commented Ms. Joni Liverman, Board Member. "His collaborative approach and commitment to student success align perfectly with our district's values and goals."
The Board of Education is confident that this leadership transition will further enhance Tyrrell County Schools' mission to provide high-quality educational experiences for every student.
