North Johnston High School is a public high school in Kenly, North Carolina.CommunityNorth Johnston High School serves an area composed of several small communities and towns: Glendale-Chapel, Kenly, Micro, and Pine Level. Each of these communities had their own local schools until the consolidated North Johnston High School opened in 1965. The attendance area is heavily influenced by its agriculture heritage. The economic base has gradually changed over the years, but many of the people in the area are still involved with some agriculture enterprise. The people in the community have a great deal of pride in the high school, and many are involved in their student’s education. The development of local industry and the opportunities of the Research Triangle Park and Wake County have begun to influence the economic base and have increased more of an awareness of the importance of parental involvement in education.FacultyThe professional faculty consists of 57 teachers including 2 counselors, 1 student advocate, 1 testing coordinator, 1 career development counselor, 7 exceptional children’s teachers, 1 distance learning coordinator, and 1 media specialist. The administrative staff consists of 1 principal and two assistant principals. One-fourth of the certified staff has master's degrees and/or post graduate work. Part-time personnel include a nurse, social worker, speech therapist, and school psychologist.
