Hyde County Schools

The vision of Hyde County Public Schools is to be a school district of excellence that graduates all students with the skills to be competitive in a global society. In the midst of all the beauty and enchanting history that is Hyde County is a small, progressive school system. The motto 'Doing what is Best for Students' explains our commitment to educating students and providing support for teachers. Hyde County is perched on the eastern edge of North Carolina with an aquatic boundary that includes the Atlantic Ocean, the Pamlico Sound, and the Pungo, Alligator, and Long Shoal Rivers. The tranquil, rural landscape of the Mainland is accessible by road and ferry. Here you'll find lush farms bordered by tall forests, water birds congregate on Lake Mattamuskeet, and brackish creeks meandering to Pamlico Sound. The Outer Banks are rugged barrier islands that stretch south from the Virginia border along the North Carolina coast. Tucked away between Hatteras Island to the north and the now deserted Portsmouth Island to the south, lies Ocracoke Island. It awes visitors with its many miles of windswept sands, picturesque harbor, and unique shops. On June 8, 2007, the lifeguarded beach on Ocracoke was named as the Number One Beach in America by Dr. Stephen Leatherman, known as "Dr. Beach". Both Mainland and Ocracoke have friendly folk, enchanting villages, and unmatched outdoor opportunities. Hyde County is an area rich in history and close connections between its people, land, and water.

Teaching in Hyde County Schools is wonderfully unique. We are the smallest district in the state, have only 3 schools (a K-12 school, a K-5 school, and a 6-13 school), and often only have one teacher per grade level or subject in a school. With our small size comes many advantages for innovation, creativity, access to professional learning, and opportunities for student success - all delivered with a very low student:teacher ratio. Our student body is ethnically and socio-economically diverse, and our families are very supportive of the school system. Hyde County Schools is a great place to start your career, spend your career, or wrap up your career.

In addition to the North Carolina State Salary Schedule, Hyde County Schools offers a $500 sign on bonus and an annual 1.5% supplement.

If a student is interested in the teaching profession, our schools’ partner with Beaufort County Community College, and students in our district can earn an associate degree in education for no cost while attending high school.
