    Teacher Licenses

                                                               
    NC Teachers must hold a license for the subject or grade level they teach. Local policy states establishing and maintaining licensure with NCDPI is the responsibility of the individual employee.  Failure to establish or maintain current licensure is grounds for dismissal.  For more information regarding license requirements for the state of North Carolina, please visit the NC DPI Licensure Website
