Eastman School Reborn in Enfield

A brand new $53 million school just opened in Enfield, North Carolina—Eastman Leadership Academy, replacing the historic Eastman School that closed in 2009. Built with $48.5 million in lottery funds, the 101,000-square-foot campus marks a major upgrade and emotional homecoming for families, alumni, and students alike. Former students and their kids now walk the same halls, with one proud grandfather even tearing up at the reopening. Superintendent Dr. Eric Cunningham credited the community and lottery funding for making this dream a reality—making Eastman the 45th North Carolina school rebuilt or renovated thanks to these grants. It’s more than a new building—it’s a new chapter for Halifax County education. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
