Our Values

Faith. Inclusion. Imagination. Engagment.

"On the first day of freshman year, each class began with everyone going around the room introducing themselves and explaining why they chose to come to Chowan. I can say more than 90 percent of my classmates, including myself, all gave the same reason why they chose to come here. We all said, “Chowan was a second chance.” No matter what the second part of their reason was, the beginning was always the same. For example, freshman year I said, “Chowan was a second chance for me to prove to myself that I can do the work and succeed on and off the soccer field.” After my first few months, I had met some great people, played against the best soccer players I have ever faced, and unknown to both of us, I had met my future wife. But nothing will beat the look on my parent’s face when I brought home my first semester grades and showed them that I had achieved a 4.0 GPA. After struggling so much through high school, this achievement allowed me to prove to them, and to myself, that I can succeed and do great things."
