  A residential summer academic program for gifted high school students from across North Carolina. The program is under the auspices of the NC Department of Public Instruction

  and is the oldest program of its kind in the nation. Helped save the program from extinction in 2012 despite loss of all state funding

  primarily through an extensive fundraising campaign with alumni and a lobbying effort with the state legislature. In the summer of 2012

  partial state funding

  sufficient to guarantee continuation of the program on two campuses

  was restored.

• \"The cost of opportunity: School desegregation and changing race relati\" by Jack Michael McElreath

  This study examines six North Carolina school districts that experienced the desegregation process differently. Four of these districts maintained their white enrollments. A study of these districts helps explain how that feat was possible. Desegregation changed the experiences of students

  teachers

  administrators

  and their communities.
