Schools
As the nation's first state university, The University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill was chartered in 1789 and opened to students in
1795. Carolina was the only public university to award degrees to
students in the 18th century. Since those first few years, this special
place of learning has blended its own traditions with those of the
state. Now in its third century, UNC's academic offerings span more than
100 fields, including bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees as well
as professional degrees in dentistry, medicine, pharmacy and law. Five
health schools — which, with UNC Hospitals, comprise one of the nation's
most complete academic medical centers — are integrated with liberal
arts, basic sciences and high-tech academic programs.
Home of the Blue Devils, Duke University has about 13,000
undergraduate and graduate students and a world-class faculty helping to
expand the frontiers of knowledge. The university has a strong
commitment to applying knowledge in service to society, both near its
North Carolina campus and around the world.
Consistently ranked among the nation's top 50 public universities and
ranked by Princeton Review as a best value for students, NC State is a
place where students can fit in — and dig in. Beginning their freshmen
year, NC State students start work on their major right away — whether
it's conducting research alongside faculty or starting a challenging
co-op or internship. While the student population is large, you won't
get lost in the crowd. Faculty and staff are accessible, friendly and
helpful; large classes are always paired with smaller discussion
sections or labs.
DPS is a leader in the state for its small high school options. And
the district has three National Middle Schools to Watch, among only 29
middle schools in North Carolina to achieve this recognition. Middle and

Raising achievement for all students is the key priority in DPS. This
includes a focus on Advanced Academics to ensure that more academically
rigorous offerings will be made available to a greater number of
students. Science also is getting a boost in DPS, with new initiatives
and partnerships to improve science education. Durham's reputation as an
arts community is clearly reflected in our schools, where students are
performing and pursuing the arts throughout the school year.
Welcome to the Wake County Public School System! WCPSS schools offer
