Congratulations to our Exceptional Schools!
At the heart of our promise to be exceptional is inspiring others to be exceptional too. It’s inspiring greatness not just in ourselves, but in everyone around us. This commitment to being exceptional knows no age bounds.

After thousands of votes cast, the winners are:

Celebrating Community Spirit: A Heartfelt Story for Catawba Rosenwald Education Center
At Peoples Bank, we believe that education is a cornerstone of thriving communities. That’s why held the Exceptional Schools contest. While the response was incredible, but what truly touched our hearts was the selfless dedication of several schools that rallied support for a deserving cause, the Catawba Rosenwald Education Center.
Catawba Rosenwald Education Center is a secondary alternative school in our community, serving students who often face unique challenges. What sets this school apart is not just the quality of education it provides but the unwavering determination of its students, staff, and the community that supports it.
The Underserved Heroes
Catawba Rosenwald Education Center is a school that often operates in the shadows, quietly making a significant impact on the lives of its students. What sets this school apart is its ability to empower students who may have struggled elsewhere. But it’s not just the school itself; it’s the people who make it special.
No PTO or Booster Organization
One of the challenges faced by Catawba Rosenwald is the lack of a Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) or booster organization. These groups often play a crucial role in fundraising and support for schools, but for Catawba Rosenwald, it’s the school staff and the community that step up.
Community Comes Together
During our recent contest, something beautiful happened. We witnessed several local high schools going above and beyond to rally votes for Catawba Rosenwald Education Center. These schools recognized the exceptional work being done at Catawba Rosenwald and the unique needs of its students.
Their efforts, their dedication, and their belief in the mission of Catawba Rosenwald were nothing short of inspirational. It was a testament to the strength of community spirit, the value of education, and the power of lending a helping hand when it’s needed most.
A Well-Deserved Victory
In the end, Catawba Rosenwald Education Center secured a well-deserved victory as the top vote-getter. The $1,000 donation is more than just a financial boost; it’s a recognition of the extraordinary work they do and a testament to the heartwarming support of our community.
As we celebrate this victory, we also want to extend our gratitude to the schools that rallied behind Catawba Rosenwald. Your actions showcase the true essence of community, and we are proud to have you as part of our extended Peoples Bank family.
