Education Matters by Austin Obasohan, Ed.D. 

As we move into the Thanksgiving season, we would like to thank all the special people who make positive differences in the lives of our students and staff each day.  For every thoughtful and kind gesture, for lending a helping hand along the way, and for your prayers and support, we thank you!  Our Duplin County Schools’ family is grateful, thankful and blessed because of you!

On behalf of our Board of Education, we thank every employee at Duplin County Schools (DCS).  We are thankful that you choose to serve at DCS.  Extra kudos to our classroom teachers and teacher assistants.  We owe you a debt of gratitude for your many sacrifices. Thank you for all you do to motivate and inspire student learning in our classrooms.  It is no easy task, and we thank you for making learning fun!  

We also thank our Board of Education members, Brent Davis, Reginald Kenan, Pam Edwards, David Jones, and Claudius Morrisey for your commitment to not only our students, but our staff as well. Your discussions around the board table are solid proof of your passion for student success and the safety of our school family.   Our district benefits immensely from your cohesiveness as a governing body, and we cannot thank you enough for remaining intensely focused on the overall success and well-being of our school community.  

We thank everyone again for their individual and collective efforts providing our children and staff exemplary teaching and learning opportunities here at DCS and in the world of public education.  Most importantly, we give thanks for the goodness of God and pray that you and your families have a Happy Thanksgiving filled with bountiful blessings! 

Your humble servant,

Austin Obasohan
