Morehead City Elementary School at Camp Glenn
3316 Arendell Street
Morehead City, NC 28557
A brief history of Camp Glenn School:
"In the year of Morehead City's 100th Centennial Celebration (1957),
the school situation was simple and clearly defined. The students east
of the 24th Street Bridge attended grades 1-8 at Morehead City Graded
School on Bridges Street. Those west of the bridge attended Camp Glenn
school...
"The early 1960s brought major changes. Such words as
'consolidation' and 'integration' began to be publicly discussed.
...The downtown Morehead school building [the old graded school on
Bridges Street] served all first through sixth graders living east of
24th Street and the Camp Glenn school served all those students living
west of 24th Street. Full integration had become a reality in Morehead
City.
In the early 1980s "...Camp Glenn School [began
serving] all K-3 students.
"Morehead Primary School was opened off Country Club
Road around 1995 to house all grade K-3. Camp Glenn School was renamed
Morehead City Elementary School at Camp Glenn and housed only grades
4-5." This is the same today.
