About North Carolina New Schools Project:
The North Carolina New Schools Project (NCNSP) is a public-private catalyst for education innovation. Their vision: Every student in North Carolina graduates ready for college, careers and life. Their mission: To accelerate systemic, sustainable innovation in secondary schools across the state.

Student NCNSP was launched in 2003 by the Office of the Governor and the North Carolina Education Cabinet with initial support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Since then, NCNSP has worked with school districts and educators to develop more than 100 innovative high schools in every region of the state.

In supporting the planning and implementation of new schools, NCNSP partners with colleges and universities, state and local government, and supporters in business and philanthropy. With a staff of master teachers and accomplished school administrators, NCNSP provides a full range of services and supports to enhance the knowledge and skills of educators in new schools.

Capitol Broadcasting Company is currently a sponsor of NCNSP.
