Zaryah Bracy doesn’t wear her story on her sleeve—but listen long enough, and you’ll hear one of Kinston High School’s most powerful turnarounds in recent memory.
Once a student adrift in grief and anger, Zaryah served as the captain of the Kinston High School JROTC Color Guard and one of the newest LCPS graduates in the Class of 2025.

On Thursday, at its annual Retirement Luncheon, Lenoir County Public Schools celebrated the people and the process by honoring 36 individuals, including Hunter, who – at least for now – are calling the 2024-2025 school year their last. The retirees, in aggregate, represent 952 years of service. They wrapped up their careers at 21 different LCPS schools and departments, completing tenures that ranged in length from 16 to 45 years.
