The purpose of the Carteret County Public School Foundation is to promote excellence in education by supporting students, educators, schools and educational programs.The Carteret County Public School Foundation (CCPSF) is dedicated to fostering educational excellence within Carteret County School System by securing financial support from the community and corporate partners.

Founded in 2000, our mission has been to provide and sustain district-wide opportunities, funding teacher training, emergency assistance, and classroom programs not covered by state funds. Through the generosity of our donors, CCPSF has received and invested over $2.42 (as of 2024) million into innovative programs in our schools, in addition to assistance programs for our students and employees.

Annually, we proudly offer 4-year tuition scholarships to deserving seniors from each of our three High Schools, ensuring a future generation of teachers for Carteret County through our Big Rock Teaching Fellows Program.

Together, we believe in empowering education and shaping a brighter tomorrow for our community
