EdNC turns 4! Hang on, y’all!

The Editor’s Notes

Today marks the anniversary of the launch of EducationNC and the beginning of year five for us. Our work continues to be my greatest privilege, and I am filled with awe and gratitude for you, our audience. Thank you.

We are a bottom up organization, believing that on our best days the leadership team supports our team of peer experts in doing their best work. It is remarkable — and humbling — to watch our team will our vision into reality with fidelity day in and day out. To our team, you are loved, and we are thankful.

Expect great things from us. I do. #loveNC, Mebane
