© Annunciation Catholic School 2011-2012 About Us Annunciation Catholic School was established in 1954.  We are an accredited PK3 - 8^th grade school located in Havelock, North Carolina, near the Marine Corps Air Station at Cherry Point in the heart of the Crystal Coast.  Annunciation Catholic School was established in 1954 in response to Annunciation Catholic Parish’s need for education based on unchanging values.  As Christians and Catholics, ACS’s educational philosophy was established many years ago and remains the same today:  Development of the Whole Child.  Spiritual and moral values are stressed side-by-side with intellectual and technological matters. From its humble beginnings, Annunciation Catholic School has made Religious education an integral part of the whole child, continually working to develop a sense of personal responsibility.  Students are called to awareness of their unique God-given talents and challenged to achieve in an academically rigorous curriculum.  ACS has always promoted understanding and cooperation between military dependents and those who are not so that each will learn to understand and respect a life different from his/her own. We are a member of the Havelock Chamber of Commerce and participate in programs that seek to fulfill the mission of the Chamber. ACS is proud to offer a chapter of the National --Junior Honor Society, Interact/Campus Ministry, a strong sports program, a rigorous academic curriculum with high expectations, and a strong Fine Arts program.  An Annunciation Student is Hard Working, Prayerful, Loving, and Respectful  Our Beliefs • The entire faith community shares responsibility for providing a safe, nurturing environment for learning. • Student learning is enhanced by compassionate relationships and mutual respect among students, staff, and parents. • Each student is a valued individual; therefore, we strive to foster his/her intellectual, spiritual, physical, and emotional growth. • All students can learn. • Quality Catholic education calls us to integrate Gospel teachings and values in our daily lives. • The commitment to continuous improvement is imperative to maintain academic excellence. • High expectations and a variety of learning opportunities enable all students to succeed.
