We sincerely appreciate each and every one of you for your support of Johnston County Public Schools and the Fine Arts programs. We are so excited to once again bring Showcase of Stars back to a live stage after a three-year hiatus. Your support makes events like this possible. Thank you for partnering with us!
It is our privilege to welcome you to this year’s performance of Showcase of Stars. The Johnston County Education Foundation and Johnston County Public Schools have proudly co-hosted the Showcase of Stars performances since the very first performance in the early 90’s. We are so excited to return to our traditional format for the first time in three years!
We would like to thank all of our sponsors for tonight’s event. We are fortunate to have the support of so many community businesses as well as individuals that believe in the importance of Showcase of Stars. Please take a moment to look through the program at our sponsors. We are very grateful for each and every one of them.
The preparation to bring Showcase of Stars to life on stage and in the Showcase Art Gallery takes many hours of work by our Arts Educators and their students. Countless hours of planning go into every detail of the performances that you will see tonight. We wish to thank every teacher that prepared students to perform today and/or worked with students to create art for our displays. We value our Arts Educators and Arts Education in Johnston County Public Schools.
We are also thankful to you, our parents, community, and stakeholders for your support of every student involved in Showcase of Stars. We could not put an event of this magnitude together without your support of these students as well. Thank you for driving students to and from rehearsals, helping to purchase costumes, art supplies, and supporting your Arts Educators by allowing your student to be a part of this production.
All of these children have seen this show during their dress rehearsals. For the safety of your child, and out of respect for all of the ensembles that will perform tonight, all students will stay with their teachers until the show is over. Every act on stage tonight has worked diligently to prepare and they each deserve a full audience. For those reasons, you will sign your child out after the complete show is over. Please sit back and enjoy the performance!

The Johnston County Education Foundation promotes innovation, involvement and excellence in the public schools through the prudent administration of privately-funded programs, grants and scholarships
Dr. Eric C. Bracy has served as superintendent of Johnston County Public Schools since July 1, 2020. As superintendent, Dr. Bracy has been an active force in providing a high-quality education for all K-12 students, while also actively engaging within the Johnston County community. Under his leadership, JCPS had 30 of its 48 schools in North Carolina’s top 20% for academic growth in the 2021-2022 school year. He, his senior leadership, school leaders, and staff are committed to the district’s goal of having 100% of Johnston County Public Schools earning a school letter grade of an A, B, or C by the end of the 2023-2024 school year.
He has enjoyed a long and very successful career in public education spanning more than 20 years in North Carolina, including serving more than 15 years as a superintendent. Prior to assuming his current position, he served as the superintendent of Sampson County Schools for six years. Additionally, he was recently honored with the 2020 Distinguished Educator Award by the North Carolina Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development for his contributions in the areas of curriculum and instruction.
He is married to his wife, Janelle, who is a teacher at Polenta Elementary, and together they have three daughters: Cameron, Courtney, and Camille. Dr. Bracy is excited to participate in this years Showcase of Stars through his role as show emcee!
Welcome to the beautiful newly remodeled Johnston Community College Auditorium for the 2023 Showcase of the Stars!
As the current president of the Johnston County Education Foundation, let me be the first to welcome you to the Showcase! After a couple years off due to the pandemic, we are so happy to be back.
JCEF was founded in 1990 by local business leaders to support the school system and provide students and teachers with financial support. In 1992, the “Showcase of the Stars” was launched as an annual fundraiser, giving students the opportunity to perform for their family and friends. Still a much-loved community event over 30 years later, 34 schools from our community will be performing here this weekend.
Eric Brownlee PresidentThank you to JCC, and their staff for the wonderful hospitality, at this first-class venue. I’d also like to thank the members of the Johnston County Education Foundation Board, as well as all of our stakeholders and supporters in Johnston County Public Schools. Finally, I’d like to say thank you and congratulations to all the teachers and students whose talent is being showcased this weekend. Congratulations!
