Why Choose Morehead City Elementary at Camp Glenn?
At Morehead City Elementary School at Camp Glenn, we are more than a school—we are a community committed to empowering every student, every day, to grow, achieve, and thrive. Grounded in care, integrity, and high expectations, our school offers an exceptional educational experience that nurtures academic achievement, personal growth, and strong character.
Serving approximately 255 fourth- and fifth-grade students, our small class sizes and low student–teacher ratio allow us to truly know our students and support their individual journeys. Our high teacher retention rate brings valuable consistency, deepening relationships and ensuring high-quality instruction year after year.
We believe that every child can succeed when expectations are high and learning is meaningful. That’s why we prioritize active engagement in every classroom, hands-on learning opportunities, and instruction designed to meet diverse needs. Our academic outcomes reflect this commitment: students at Camp Glenn consistently perform above the state average in both math and reading.
Beyond academics, we are proud to offer enriching experiences that support the whole child. We’ve recently renovated our performing arts space, installing new stage curtains and an upgraded sound system to enhance school performances. These investments reflect our belief in the transformative power of the arts—building confidence, creativity, and communication skills that serve students both in and beyond the classroom. We also offer a variety of student clubs, including Music Club, Art Club, Science Club, and others that are student-created and led—giving students voice, choice, and opportunities to explore their interests in a fun and supportive setting.
Relationships are at the heart of everything we do. Our staff is committed to building a safe, joyful, and inclusive environment where each child feels known, valued, and supported. Our vibrant Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) and strong community partnerships help bring this vision to life—through volunteerism, special events, and a shared commitment to student success.
At Camp Glenn, we don’t just teach students—we believe in them. We celebrate their strengths, nurture their potential, and relentlessly pursue excellence in everything we do.
