The New Bern area is growing all around us. We can see the numerous road construction projects, we read about the new housing developments and the discussion of a new high school continues.
The subject of a new high school located between Havelock and New bern was recently discussed by the Craven County Board of Education and the Craven County Board of Commissioners.
The need for this new facility has gained momentum with the recently announced military personnel build up slated for Cherry Point.
The county is looking for land in the area to support a high school and possibly a middle school that could share common facilities such as athletic fields and auditoriums. A new elementary school, Creekside was opened in 2007 in this area of rapid growth including Taberna and Carolina Colours.
This facility when completed would raise the number of public high schools in Craven County to four. The three existing high schools are West Craven(Eagles), Havelock(Rams) and New Bern(Bears) which won a state championship in football for the 2007 season.
