Built in 1929, Chicod is one of the oldest schools in Pitt County. A historical gem tucked away in rural Pitt County, Chicod has become a microcosm for students to excel academically and socially. Chicod School, a former high school that is now K-8, has kept its "old school" charm while integrating 21st-century technology. The old red brick buildings still house the lunchroom, while new additions have been added over the years. For former Chicod School graduates, the architectural changes are simply nostalgic. Home to almost 1,000 students, school spirit is very much alive at the "Hornet hive." Chicod School also boasts some of the best test scores in the district.
