• Edenton community (nclottery.com) — Edenton families are about to see students move into a brand-new John A. Holmes High School, rebuilt on its historic Broad Street site with nearly $50 million in lottery-funded grants. The 147,000-square-foot campus will serve about 600 students with modern career and technical education spaces, and local leaders say the project is transforming opportunities in this small rural town.
