🌟 Join us in celebrating Lauren Spiva, 8th grade teacher at Hickory Middle School, as a Teacher of the Year finalist! 🌟
A proud Hickory High School graduate and Elizabeth City State University alum, Mrs. Spiva has dedicated 20 years to education, teaching Physical Science and Pre-Algebra. Her enthusiasm, positivity, and dedication have earned her the Essential Piece and Helping Hand awards for helping every Hawk shine.
Mrs. Spiva's superpower is her positive energy and saving the day is what she does best. From opening lockers with pliers to finding missing homework, hemming pants, gluing on nails, and even rescuing a broken shoe with hot glue, she does it all!
When she's not dressing up for spirit days, Mrs. Spiva becomes "GiGi," playing with her grandson and spending quality time with her family.
A colleague shares, "Mrs. Spiva is one of the kindest souls you will ever meet."
Thank you, Mrs. Spiva, for your boundless energy, creativity, and heart! You make Hickory Middle School an incredible place to learn and grow! 🦅🩵 #CPSCelebrates #CPSTOY2026

Today we gathered our winter sports captains to talk about what it truly means to lead—both on and off the court and mat. We discussed the impact they have on team culture, communication, sportsmanship, and the responsibility they carry as role models for their teammates.
Proud of this group and excited to see the leadership, positivity, and passion they bring into the winter season! 💪❄️

8th grade Leadership students took their learning to the next level by hearing directly from our local leaders! Real-world insights and inspiration straight from the people shaping our community. 🌟 #LeadershipInAction #FutureLeaders
