Dear Currituck County Schools Family, As we head into Winter Break, I wish everyone the happiest holidays. It is a time to rest, restore, and to be thankful for our blessings. This time of year also naturally lends itself to reflection, and as I reflect on the school year thus far, I am filled with immense gratitude and pride. Under the guidance of our District Strategic Plan, we are ambitiously moving forward. Our staff is learning and growing together for the betterment of our Currituck County schools and, ultimately, the success of our students. Our commitment to fully implementing our plan is evident in the hard work and dedication occurring all throughout the district. We are stronger together for embracing our strengths, implementing new expectations, and accepting difficult changes. I am confident in our plan and inspired by the leadership occurring throughout our district to make our plan a reality. We are truly ten schools with one mission. I extend my heartfelt thanks to our families and community for your continued trust and support. Thank you to all Currituck County Schools’ staff for your daily commitment to putting our students first. I sincerely applaud our students for their perseverance, honoring their potential, and striving for the best version of themselves. It is truly an honor to serve as the Superintendent for Currituck County Schools. Thank you for your continued support and partnership. I look forward to our return in January and all the extraordinary things we will accomplish together in 2023. Warmest regards, Dr. Matt Lutz
