N.C. State Northeast Leadership Academy Program Wins School Leader Award
The University Council for Educational Administration (UCEA) awarded the 2014 Exemplary Educational Leadership Preparation Program Award to North Carolina State University for its Northeast Leadership Academy (NELA) program. NCU is one of only two programs in the nation to receive the award.

Bertie County is one of the thirteen school districts served by NELA.
