At the NCMA learning happens in the galleries, Museum Park, online, and in classrooms across our state. I’m passionate about what I do because I’ve seen the impact. Museum objects serve as catalysts to spark curiosity, learning, and discussion. Art museums offer students ways to connect to cultures across time and place and broaden their worldviews. We are excited to join other museums, parks, zoos, and historic sites in North Carolina’s Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (DNCR) as we celebrate that “learning happens here.”











How long have you been with DNCR? 

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week, and I kicked it off by visiting Rockingham Early College High School, located in Wentworth, NC, where I spent time with Ms. Valencia Abbott, a history and civics teacher at the school.
