Mountain Island Charter School has another reason to celebrate. The public charter school, home to the NC Charter School Teacher of the Year, also employs the NC Charter School Principal of the Year. Dr. Jacob Wilson, the middle/high school principal at MICS, recently earned the honor.
We share an excerpt below from the MICS announcement:
We are honored to announce that Dr. Jacob Wilson, MICS Middle/High School Principal has [been] named the North Carolina Charter School Principal of the Year! He was selected as the NC Charter School Principal of the Year out of more than 200 charter schools across the state.
Dr. Wilson has served in his current role at MICS for almost 2 years. Prior to his tenure at MICS, he held positions as a teacher, assistant principal, and principal at various levels of K-12 public education. Since Dr. Wilson became a Raptor, MICS has achieved the highest academic growth outcomes in school history and substantially expanded both academic and extracurricular programming.
… Dr. Wilson will now compete in the final state round alongside 8 other regional principals up for the 2025 Wells Fargo Principal of the Year. The state winner will be announced during an awards ceremony later this year.
Congratulations, Dr. Wilson and Mountain Island Charter School! See the video from WBTV.
