St. Egbert Catholic School

1705 Evans Street
Morehead City, NC 28557
This parish school School opened in 1956. It has a quality academic program with high standards and high expectations for all students, an orderly and supportive environment that is conducive to learning, and a robust faith community with a clear Catholic identiy.
Of interest to the founders is the tremendous amount of learning that goes on each year in young children.
It is exciting for us to see all the important loving and guiding experiences of infancy incorporated into the children's development.
We believe we have an opportunity to influence much of what will happen to children as they go through elementary school, junior high school and on into adult life.
It also is a real challenge to our staff to provide an environment that will encourage maximum development for children, as positive experiences during the early year’s lead to much greater success in the future.
