I love the fact that we have small class sizes. The student-teacher ratio is good. ACE Time that is utilized by the students is wonderful! The staff works well with the administration.

There are many teachers and staff at this school who go above and beyond to provide for their students. We have a great technology department that provides useful educational tools to increase student learning. Our guidance department truly cares about our students and works hard to support them emotionally and academically. Our administrators work hard to support teachers and staff and also have great relationships with many of the students. We might be a small school, but we have big heart!

While John A Holmes has many great things going, the best and most important is our students. We have a student body that is, collectively, one of the most intelligent, collaborative and creative groups I have ever had the privilege to work with. The next best is the teachers and staff - a great educational family to work with.

At John A Holmes High School we have a great Administration and staff that will go the extra mile for each student. We offer many opportunities for students to receive extra support. We have ACE time which is a block of time that students have the opportunity to receive extra tutoring, make up tests, have club time and any other additional support they need. We also offer ACT prep classes for our 11th graders. We have some great students that are lead by some awesome teachers. John A Holmes High School believes every student can succeed.

The Occupational and Life Skills students actively help the Food Bank prepare food bags for the Book Bag Buddies program at D.F. Walker Elementary on a weekly basis. This is a great way for these students to participate in their community and help others!

Students are interested in doing projects that are meaningful to them and the community. A group of students during their free time have written grants to promote the information about invasive Hydrilla in the Chowan river. They are working to develop awareness, and prevent the spread of the weed at boat ramps. The group is one of only 13 in the country to receive a grant from What Kids Can Do foundation. These are the type of projects that can be offered in the rural small school setting.
