About NCSSM |
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 The
combined vision of former Governor James B. Hunt Jr., former Governor and Duke
University President Terry Sanford, and John Ehle, a well-known area academician
and author, The North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics opened in 1980
as the first school of its kind in the nation-a public, residential high school
where students study a specialized curriculum built around science and mathematics.
NCSSM's unique living and learning experience made it the model for 18 like schools across the globe. In 1988, NCSSM became one of four founding members of the 76-member National Consortium for Specialized Secondary Schools of Mathematics, Science and Technology. Our diverse student body consists of 11th and 12th graders who represent more than 90 of North Carolina's 100 counties. They call home the campus of the former Watts Hospital, a 27-acre park-like setting that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Now updated with wireless network and internet access, renovated living facilities and a state-of-the-art educational technology center, the campus' unique architectural features hold firm the campus' rich history while the students within its walls cement its future. NCSSM's reputation for unparalleled academic integrity is not its own. Every year, North Carolina's dedication to building leaders by advancing elementary and secondary education further strengthens the scholastic excellence of those who attend our school. Combined with the ever-growing global-impact being made by those that have previously called our campus home, NCSSM serves as a catalyst for the academic, cultural and economic vitality of the state of North Carolina. The North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. Enrolling exceptional students. Graduating exceptional people. |
