No School – Friday, May 1, 2026

Due to the significant number of staff members who have requested leave to attend a public education rally in Raleigh, Friday, May 1, 2026, will now be designated as an optional teacher workday. There will be no school for scholars. This calendar adjustment will not require scholars to make up an instructional day.

We appreciate your understanding, flexibility, and continued support as we continue to prioritize the success of our scholars and school community.

Welcome to Rocky Mount Prep

Rocky Mount Preparatory School is a tuition-free, public charter school founded in 1997. Located in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, we serve over 1000 scholars in grades K–12.

From the Desk of Our Head of School

Welcome back to a new school year filled with promise and potential! As we embark on this journey together, I would like to share a few thoughts centered around four guiding principles: empathy, effort, excellence, and evolution.

Empathy will continue to be the foundation of our community, fostering understanding and connection among us all. Through genuine effort, both in academics and personal growth, we will achieve goals that reflect our dedication and resilience. Excellence is not just a standard but a mindset we cultivate daily, striving to be our best selves in every endeavor. And as we embrace evolution, we recognize that growth comes from adapting, learning, and transforming through new experiences.

Let’s make this year one of meaningful connections, hard work, outstanding achievements, and transformative growth. Together, we will create an environment where every member thrives.

Let’s ascend to excellence!
