Parsley Elementary School Selected as a 2008 Real D.E.A.L. Finalist

Parsley Elementary School has been selected as one of the fifty finalists in the 2008 Real D.E.A.L.(Dedicated Educators, Administrators & Learners) School Awards. Schools were selected based on outstanding student achievement over the past two years and positive teacher working conditions from the 2008 Teacher Working Conditions (TWC) Survey. These schools were honored for outstanding student achievement as well as for excellent teacher working conditions.

Parsley has been selected as a finalist three times and was the recipient of the 2006-2007 Real D.E.A.L. Award. Due to the criteria established by the Governor's Teacher Advisory Committee, schools can not win successive years; therefore, Parsley will not be eligible to win this year’s award. However, as a finalist the school is considered a “Great Place to Teach and Learn,” and it will be highlighted so other schools across the state can contact them. Parsley Elementary School will be listed in the 2008 Real D.E.A.L. Schools booklet presented at the 2008 Teacher Working Conditions Conference, which will be at the Embassy Suites in Cary, NC, on December 4, 2008.

Robin Hamilton, principal at Parsley Elementary School, states, “I am extremely proud of this recognition from the Governor's office. Parsley was awarded the Real D.E.A.L. Award in 2006, and is now a finalist again in 2008. This recognition, in addition to being a North Carolina Honor School of Excellence with High Growth is a reflection of Parsley's strong, professional staff that works diligently every day challenging students to extend their academic and social learning. Another component to Parsley's success is our active and supportive Parent Teacher Association. Parsley's environment is truly a collaborative place where everyone works to continue the treasured traditions that make Parsley such an awesome place for children, while moving our children and our school towards continued success and student growth. We are focused on being data driven and student centered to ensure that all students are well prepared for bright and successful futures."
