The Governor Morehead School (GMS) will offer specialized educational opportunities, community outreach, and an
immersive environment for North Carolina students with visual impairments and additional disabilities. Through unique and expert instruction, we will create a dynamic and inclusive environment for students to reach their highest potential in developing knowledge, skills, confidence, and values that will support them as independent, life-long learners to contribute to our global society.
The instructional program at the Governor Morehead School serves students from 5 to 21 years of age. Our curriculum comes from the North Carolina state standards and eligible students earn either a diploma or certificate at graduation. Our program focuses on both academics and functional instruction in order to meet the educational needs of students with varying cognitive abilities.
