Welcome Sensational Swansboro Dolphins!
I hope you are relaxed, recharged and ready to start this New Year. I am delighted that you and your family are part of our amazing learning community. As the year 2020 came to an end and in light of all the unexpected occurrences that our school division and communities experienced during the first half of the 2020-21 school year, all signs continue to point to an incredible and productive school year that is robust in academic and social successes for our students and the school community. With your help, as we continue to navigate in this virtual learning environment, our students will continue to achieve academic and social successes. Our school community, teachers and staff are indeed joyous and caring with the common goals of nurturing responsible, caring students and promoting high-level learning.
It remains an honor and privilege to serve as your Principal and I welcome and value your positive energy and dedication to excellence in education. Please stop by and say hello. Together, I know we will make this school year one of growth and achievement for all the students at Swansboro.
Yours in Education,
Dr. Wayne Scott, Principal

RPS Direct Update - February 26, 2021
Dear #RPSStrong Family, Happy Friday! Today was especially joyous for me, as I had the privilege of presiding over our first-ever Mid-Year Graduation for students from the 2020, 2019, and 2018 classes who have returned to earn their diplomas. These 25 young people have redefined what it means to persevere and we are immensely proud of them! The ceremony today is a result of more than a year's worth of work to find students who left RPS, re-engage them through new programs like Con Ganas (With Determination), and support them through every last obstacle. Please join me in thanking the RPS teachers, counselors, administrators, and support staff – along with the students' families! – for making today possible.

RPS Direct Update - February 25, 2021
Dear #RPSStrong Family, I'm thrilled to share that we have a new Chief Operating Officer joining RPS on March 1! Alana Gonzalez has spent her entire career helping government agencies work more efficiently and more equitably. She's coming to us from New York, where she served as Executive Director of Community Reconstruction and Infrastructure for the Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery. In this role, she led over 300 recovery and resiliency projects for NY communities affected by Superstorm Sandy, Hurricane Irene, and Hurricane Lee. Ms. Gonzalez also held various roles, including Chief of Staff to the General Manager, at the New York City Housing Authority, which provides affordable housing to more than 400,000 low- to moderate-income New Yorkers.
