The Tyrrell County Board of Education recently adopted the following four goals, along with implementation strategies and timelines, as the Tyrrell County Schools Strategic Plan for 2016-18:

Goal 1:  Beginning with the 2016-2017 school year, all schools will perform above the state average and meet expected growth as measured by Education Value-Added Assessment System growth data and state assessments.

Goal 2: All students will have daily access to technologically driven instruction as documented by principals and instructional support personnel during walk-throughs and observations.

Goal 3: Communications, processes, and systems will be in place to assure all stakeholders are informed of meetings, policies, expectations, and activities taking place in the school system.

Goal 4: The system has resources and provides services in all schools that support its purpose and direction to ensure success for all students.

The mission statement reads: “The Tyrrell County School System dedicates its efforts to developing a responsible and productive citizenry, well equipped to meet the challenges of the 21st century. We will accomplish this mission through the commitment and cooperation of our diverse community.”
