Governor Morehead School

Governor Morehead School This is the official Governor Morehead School page managed by the Education Services for the Deaf and Blind at the North Department of Public Instruction.

The school provided services to children from 5 to 21 years of age until 1987, at which time the Governor Morehead Preschool program extended the services to children, ages birth through 4 years of age, throughout the state. In the past decade, the school's role has expanded to serve school aged children in their home communities. Through the outreach program, initiated in 1993, local education ag

encies across the state can refer visually impaired students to the GMS. These specialized services, per local school system request, are provided in the child's local school system. Services were made available to students for whom their local school systems determined the need for short term training in the expanded core curriculum in 1996. This training is variable in length (typically 1-2 weeks) and provided on the GMS campus.

Thank You For Being . . . .

On behalf of the Food Service Department, we want to say a huge THANK YOU for our amazing TEAM GMS shirts!

Mrs. Charlesetta and I were so excited about them that, of course, we had to have a little photo shoot today! We decided if we were going to represent TEAM GMS, we might as well do it in style—and be fashionable while doing it! 📸😎

Thank you again, Dr. Segers, for thinking of us and helping us show our GMS pride!

TEAM GMS — looking good and serving with purpose! 💙💛

Literacy Initiative In Action

The students read the short story "The Most Dangerous Game."

During a second reading, we picked out text evidence that illustrated the setting.

After reading, we created tactile ship-trap islands with Rice Krispies as our base, icing as our water and mossy land, and candy to represent trees, quicksand, rocky cliffs, etc.

While we enjoyed our islands, we discussed why setting is important and how our story would be different if set in a city.

Below are some photos of our project.

Every Step Tells a Story!

GMS staff stepped beyond campus with a visit to the North Carolina State Capitol and took advantage of the perfect photo op with Governor John Motley Morehead, our school’s namesake!

A fun way to connect GMS to North Carolina history.

Big things are on the way with GMS, Outreach, and Career Readiness & Vocational Education!

Stay Tuned!

Let's "Bee" Ready (it was Right there)

GMS is once again hosting the NC Regional Abacus Bee.
The theme of this year's Abacus Bee will be "The Nature of Math."

The event is scheduled for November 5th, 2026, and will be an all-day event with all students participating.

In order to make this a successful event, we will need all hands on deck.

The event will be divided in some respects into two separate events that occur in the morning before lunch.

The OCS and SCS students will participate in a series of testing activities in the morning, with the two highest levels of competition completing one testing activity after lunch. The ECS students will participate in testing and Sensory Stations, lunch, presentation, awards, and closing ceremony.

After lunch, we plan on having a presentation, prizes, and student recognition before closing out the event.

Staff volunteers, I want you to know that your work is appreciated. And as we award students who performed extra well with gift cards of their choice, we will reward staff with gift cards of their choice.

Staff award selection will be made through a raffle process. You must be present and a participating volunteer on the day of the event to win a prize.

I am including a form for you to let me know what role you would like to play in the event, to select your t-shirt size, as well as have the opportunity to choose the color of the t-shirt.

Abacus Bee Committee Meetings are scheduled for September 11th and October 30th.

Thank You!!

On behalf of the Governor Morehead School Food Service Department, we would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by today as we welcomed back our GMS students, Young Women’s Leadership Academy students, and DSB consumers!

We are so grateful to have everyone back safely and are excited about moving forward together into what we know will be a fantastic school year.

And today’s lunch was definitely something special! A special shout-out to our cook, Ty’Asia, for making the delicious Honey Bun Cake, and to our Food Service Supervisor, Ms. Murry, for creating our new Sock It 2 You Punch. Both were a hit and helped make today’s celebration even more memorable!

We hope everyone enjoyed the food, fellowship, and warm welcome. It was a wonderful way to kick off the year.

Welcome back to our GMS students, Young Women’s Leadership Academy students, and DSB consumers—and thank you for allowing the Food Service Department to serve you! 💙💛
