It is with great Warrior Pride that I welcome you to Clyde A. Erwin High School. We are part of a diverse and colorful community that is focused on working together to grow and prepare students for success in academics, the arts, athletics, and the community.

Students, I encourage you to take every opportunity to become engaged with the school community and make the most of your high school experience. We offer a full range of interest clubs, Student Government, interscholastic athletics, visual and performing arts, and one of the finest JROTCS units in the state. Additionally, we provide many award-winning Career and Technical Education programs for Business, Applied Health, Agriculture, Culinary Arts, and STEM.

Parents and community members, I encourage you to be engaged with the school in any you can. We have athletic and band boosters as our primary parental engagement groups who are always looking for support. If you are interested in joining my advisory committee as a community member, contact me directly. We are always looking for substitute teachers, bus drivers, and athletic event support. It is my goal to work collaboratively for the success of the students, educators, and the community we serve.
