Surry County Schools EC teacher recognized with award

In recognition of his role in education, North Surry High School teacher Justin Gammons was recently awarded with the 2026 Surry County Schools Educator of Excellence Award. Gammons’ distinction was posted to North Surry’s Facebook page where the post amassed numerous comments with fellow educators and community members congratulating him on the award. “Congratulations to our very own, Justin Gammons. Mr. Gammons was recognized as Surry County Schools Educator of Excellence,” the post read. This year marks Gammons’ second year teaching in the district and his tenth year teaching overall. “Way to represent not only North Surry but also SCS!” continued North Surry’s post. Gammons was officially recognized during an award ceremony at the 75th Annual North Carolina Conference on Exceptional Children (EC), which was held last Thursday in Greensboro. “I was genuinely honored and shocked at the same time,” Gammons said of finding out that he received the designation. According to the department’s award description, teachers were chosen and recognized based on their “dedicated service and outstanding contributions to the education of exceptional children in our state.” One EC educator from each of North Carolina’s 115 public school districts was chosen to be represented and recognized for their commitment

NCHSAA Round Two State 2A Football Playoff Preview, Cherryville at Alleghany

Cherryville, NC (WNN) - The Cherryville Ironmen will head to the mountains of Sparta, NC, for a second-round playoff matchup at Alleghany High School on Friday, November 13, 2026. The number five seed, Alleghany Trojans, were idle last week after earning a first-round bye. Cherryville, the number twelve seed, is coming off a dominating 63-0 performance at home against Elkin High School. This time of year is what many refer to as the second season, or the real season. Each game matters; simply put, you win, you advance; if you lose, your season is over. Each round, the competition potentially gets tougher as fewer teams remain in contention for the coveted state championship.

Here are NC State's plans to increase tuition - for the second straight year

For the second year in a row, NC State is planning to ask the UNC System to increase in-state and out-of-state undergraduate tuition by 3% for the 2027-28 school year. That would bring in-state undergraduate tuition to $6,933, and out-of-state undergraduate tuition to $33,418. If the proposal gets final approval, it would mark the second straight year of 3% tuition increases for NC State’s incoming students. In-state undergrads already enrolled keep their current rate. Chancellor Kevin Howell said this will generate $4.5 million in extra cash for the university. The school plans to use most of that to “improve the quality and accessibility of the NC State educational experience.” But it is saving $1.4 million of the pot to fund promotional salary increases for faculty. NC State won’t raise tuition across the board for graduate students — but certain graduate programs will likely get more expensive. The board is asking to increase tuition for the school’s masters-level physiology program by $1,000, and tuition for its graduate programs in biomanufacturing by $2,000. The school also wants to increase its student media fee, its fee that funds repairs and renovations for its student center, and its housing and dining fees. The UNC
