Principal’s Message
Welcome to Catawba Rosenwald Education Center, CREC, where we build positive relationships in order to educate the whole student. We embrace diversity through differentiated instruction and guide students toward their own unique potential.
As the county’s alternative setting, we provide students with an opportunity to get their education back on track. Every person deserves the opportunity to become a successful member of our community upon graduation, and we provide students and families with that opportunity. So, whether we are teaching life skills in our mentor groups, learning team, or relationship-building skills in intramurals or clubs, or participating in off-campus community service, our goal is to help students grow fully.
Warm regards,
Tim Adams
