Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools

North Forsyth High School hosted its first forum about mental health Thursday evening. Panelists included students, teachers and health leaders from local colleges. 

The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction released school performance grades this week. Nine Winston-Salem/Forsyth County schools moved up a letter grade including Cook Literacy Model School, which used to be classified as one of the lowest-performing schools in the state. 

Brunson Elementary School will be North Carolina’s first public school to be built on a Brownfields site.

The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office is calling for metal detectors to be used in schools every day after a gun was found on campus this week. But district officials say that will require more funding and manpower than they currently have.
