Today is ABC Wednesday and P is for Pearce Elementary. This new elementary school in Northwest Guilford County was named for E.P. Pearce who was a superintendent of Guilford County Schools from 1959-1978. Under his tenure, in 1962, three county high schools were built: Northwest, Northeast, and Southeast. It is hard to believe those three schools are over 50 years old! He would be so honored to know that the Pearce Patriots have named the school in his honor.
Pearce is a school loved by all stakeholders. Parents love the attention to detail, the quality of instruction, the dedecated staff and administration and the newness. The state and district love the school because their test scores are above the state and districts on measures of math, reading, and science. The children love all of the great lessons and all of the outdoor space, as seen in the photo above. Yep, there seems to be a lot of great learning taking place out there on Pleasant Ridge Road.
Glad that it's such a nice tribute to the man
