Tulls Creek Elementary set to open in Moyock for 2026-27 school year

MOYOCK, N.C. — Tulls Creek Elementary School is scheduled to open for the 2026-27 school year, giving Moyock a new public elementary school on Tulls Creek Road beside the Moyock Library.

The project adds school capacity in one of Currituck County’s growing communities. For families, students and school employees, the opening will also bring decisions about student assignments, transportation and daily travel to and from the new campus. Nearby drivers and library users may need to account for school-related traffic once classes begin, although the approved sources do not include a traffic plan.

School sits on 36-acre Moyock site

The school was built on a 36-acre rural site. Sussex Development, which reported the project’s completion in July 2026, described Tulls Creek Elementary as Moyock’s newest school and said the project was delivered through a design-build process.

The developer’s report said the school was expected to welcome students during the 2026-27 school year. That timing is consistent with Currituck County’s earlier account of the project. The county reported that officials toured the construction project in November 2025 and identified its location on Tulls Creek Road next to the library.

Currituck County’s source also said the same project team had completed other Moyock school work. The available material does not identify those projects or provide additional details about the team’s responsibilities.

Operational details have not been released in the packet

The sources establish a scheduled school-year opening, not a specific opening-day date. They also do not provide the school’s final enrollment capacity, student-assignment boundaries, staffing numbers or bus routes.

Those details will determine which students are assigned to Tulls Creek Elementary and how families plan for the school year. They will also affect transportation planning and the movement of buses, parents and staff around the Tulls Creek Road campus. The approved reports do not confirm that students have already begun attending.

The next known step is the planned opening as the 2026-27 school year begins. Until Currituck County Schools or another authoritative district notice provides the remaining operating information, families should treat the school-year opening as scheduled rather than assume an exact first day, attendance zone or transportation route.

For now, the completed project represents a new school facility in Moyock, located beside an established public library and built on a 36-acre site. The opening’s practical effects will become clearer when the district releases the assignments, staffing and transportation details that are not included in the current sources.
