North Oak Academy

North Oak Academy, a National Heritage Academies (NHA) school, celebrated its ribbon-cutting ceremony at its Durham campus on Thursday, August 7. Along with Durham’s mayor, Coalition Board member Megan DeKraker, National Heritage Academies founder and chairman J.C. Huizenga, and Dave Machado attended the celebration.

The new public charter school opened its doors to students in grades K-5 for the first time yesterday, August 20. North Oak will eventually expand to include K-8 students.

Congratulations to the North Oak Charter School staff and community–and the broader National Heritage Academies family!
