The Heritage Calendar: 

Celebrating the NC African-American Experience

The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction is proud to have partnered with AT&T to provide educational resources for The Heritage Calendar 2018: Celebrating the NC African-American Experience.

The Heritage Calendar is a project sponsored and created by AT&T (since 2013) in an effort to recognize and honor a diverse group of individuals who have made significant contributions to the lives, causes, and experiences of African Americans in North Carolina. The 2018 Edition of the Calendar features outstanding and remarkable individuals who have made achievements in a variety of fields including education, business, the performing arts, athletics, community service, law, and STEM. Each honoree is considered to be a “role model through their integrity, vision, and dedication to excellence”.

We are excited to announce that twenty-eight of the 2018 Heritage Calendar Lesson Plans are now available in Schoolnet. Educators across the state can search for the term "Heritage Calendar" on the "Find Materials" page on the Instructional Materials section of Schoolnet. The lesson plans cover a variety of grade levels and subject areas and have been vetted by our content specialists. To access lesson plans, please see image below.
