I need to give a SHOUTOUT to our local public middle school, George Moses Horton. GMH is AMAZING! The work that the faculty and staff at GMH are doing to educate and support our local youth is both impressive and inspirational! As a parent, being able to send your child(ren) to a school where you know that they will be safe and nurtured, both academically and emotionally, is a tremendous sense of relief. I cannot adequately express how happy our family has been that we made the difficult decision to take our child out of a nationally top-ranked NC charter school, and enroll them at GMH. As an educator, community member, and parent, I encourage everyone to check out all of the awesome things GMH is doing for the youth in our community.
