Open House Dates Announced

Rowan-Salisbury Schools announces flexibility in hiring teachers through Renewal.

The Rowan-Salisbury School System is offering lucrative signing bonuses for teaching positions at 13 of its schools. In addition, the district will host a virtual job fair on Wednesday, July 7, from 10 a.m. until 12 p.m. on Zoom.

In April, Gov. Roy Cooper praised Felicia Young in his State of the State Address for her innovative teaching techniques, and today, he made a visit to KMS to celebrate her in person.

The Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education approved a bonus payment as a special thank you for all the staff have done to maintain extraordinary educational opportunities for students every day during such a challenging and unprecedented year.

Based on guidance from the CDC, we have added several additional symptoms to our At-Home COVID Symptoms Screening process and have modified some safety protocols.

When Felecia Young started posting fun math videos to TikTok at the height of the pandemic, she never dreamed they would take her to the White House.

“Relationship building starts on day one. My students know I’m in their corner, they know I care about them and they know they can always talk with me."

Dr. Todd Parker, the Rowan-Salisbury Teacher of the Year, has received the prestigious Phillip J. Kirk, Jr. Honored Educator Scholarship.

“It is incredible to be a part of our students’ journeys,” says Eric. “My most special moments are when I hear that they made it, that a student has gone on to be successful, and I know I was a little piece of that.”

The Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education named Shonda Hairston and Brooke Zehmer as new Executive Directors of Elementary Schools and named Ronald Dixon, Jr. as the new Executive Director of Middle Schools beginning in July.

The Rowan-Salisbury School System (RSS) will host an in-person graduation ceremony for all Class of 2020 alumni whose traditional graduation ceremonies were modified due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"I’m big on building relationships with students. Students are the reason we’re here,” she says. “I work hard to understand them so I can help our teachers understand them better, too.”
