Guilford is home to a unified school district serving students from kindergarten through twelfth grade. High schools serving Greensboro families include Grimsley High School (Whirlies), Page High School (Pirates), Smith High School (Eagles), Western High School (Cougars), Dudley High School (Panthers), and 3 more. HERE Greensboro covers every school board meeting, budget cycle, and academic milestone across Guilford.
Greensboro's higher-education landscape includes 4 institutions: University of North Carolina at Greensboro (Spartans), NCAA D-I; North Carolina A&T State University (Aggies), NCAA D-I (FCS); Guilford College (Quakers), NCAA D-III; Guilford Technical Community College, NJCAA. HERE Greensboro covers admissions deadlines, scholarship windows, athletic schedules, and campus announcements for each institution.
NC's public-school governance flows through the NC Department of Education, which administers NC READY assessments each spring and enforces the Read to Succeed Act — requiring third-grade reading proficiency before promotion. The North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA) governs interscholastic athletics across the state. Teacher pay begins at the state minimum and is locally supplemented — making salaries a perennial flashpoint at budget hearings.
HERE Greensboro tracks school-board meetings across Guilford — agendas, votes, and budget summaries published before local papers. Our reporters cover graduation rates and NC READY scores; teacher-contract negotiations; school resource officers; SAT and ACT data; Title I funding allocations; building bond referenda; and the Friday Night Football calendar. From dual-enrollment windows at local technical colleges to faculty announcements at area universities — if it happens in a Greensboro classroom or on a Guilford campus, it is HERE.
