Bridges School

The **Bridges School**, located at 140 Vashti Drive in Morehead City, North Carolina, is a specialized educational facility operating under the Carteret County Public Schools system. It functions as an alternative learning environment designed to serve students who may require a more structured, individualized, or supportive setting than what is typically offered in a traditional comprehensive high school. The school focuses on providing academic interventions and behavioral support to help students meet their graduation requirements while developing the social and emotional skills necessary for personal and academic success.

By maintaining smaller class sizes and a dedicated staff, Bridges School emphasizes a personalized approach to education that addresses the unique needs of its student population. The school’s mission centers on fostering a positive school climate where students are encouraged to overcome challenges, improve their academic standing, and prepare for future transitions—whether that involves returning to a traditional high school, entering the workforce, or pursuing post-secondary education. Through this targeted support, the school plays a vital role in ensuring that all students in the district have access to the resources they need to remain on a path toward graduation.
