The school has gotten better since the change out of the Principle from Ms. Moore to Ms. Reep. The former principle violated privacy laws by asking some kids to open their Facebook accounts without prior consent of parents. Security at the school is good. Our experience here is few major incidents. The football field is located across the street directly across from the Mt. Holly Library.

Steel Creek Elementary is a great school. I'm really enjoying this school year at this school…read more This is our first year here and some of the highlights are it's no uniform, each student get free breakfast and lunch and the administration is amazing. The PTSO is very involved and has a load of programs and activities. One down side is the car pool line. It's huge!!!! You may have made it to the school on time but the wait to actually drop your kid off at the door will have them late. I'm glad the school recognizes this and is kinda lax with tardies. Overall I'm very impressed with the school and hope we continue to have a great school year. Steele Creek Elementary 4100 Gallant Ln Charlotte, NC 28273 2017/2018 School year

I am a UNC CHARLOTTE 49er and Sigma Phi Epsilon alumnus. I regularly return to my former campus for…read morefootball games and other sporting events, fraternity functions, and College of Engineering volunteer opportunities. The University of North Carolina at Charlotte (CHARLOTTE) is a public research university and part of the University of North Carolina System. It is classified as an R1 "Very High Research Activity" institution, reflecting its significant research output and doctoral education. In Fall 2025, CHARLOTTE enrolled over 32,000 students -- approximately 26,200 undergraduates and nearly 6,000 graduate students -- making it one of the largest and fastest-growing universities in the state. CHARLOTTE offers a broad range of academic programs across multiple disciplines, with around 79 undergraduate majors spanning arts and sciences, engineering, business, computing, and others, along with more than 150 graduate and professional programs. As an R1 university, CHARLOTTE emphasizes research and innovation through strong partnerships with industry, government, and the community. The university ranks among the top 30 U.S. institutions for career outcomes and return on investment. New degrees in sports analytics and artificial intelligence continue to expand CHARLOTTE's academic reach. Students benefit from internships, research opportunities, study-abroad programs, and strong post-graduation employment outcomes. The campus itself is a major asset. It offers excellent venues for meetings, events, athletics, and alumni engagement. During the Fall 2025 season, I attended every home football game, including tailgates hosted by the SigEp NC Nu Alumni and Volunteer Corporation. I also attended a men's soccer match -- and what a season it was. The CHARLOTTE 49ers finished 8-4-4, captured the regular-season conference title, and earned the No. 1 seed in the American Athletic Conference Tournament. They advanced to the semifinals, where a dramatic nil-nil match against FIU was decided by penalty kicks, with Charlotte narrowly defeated 11-10. In December, I volunteered at the William States Lee College of Engineering Senior Design Expo, held at the James H. Barnhardt Student Activity Center (SAC), which includes the 9,000-seat Dale F. Halton Arena. I've attended basketball games at Halton Arena for years, but I had no idea how impressive and versatile the rest of the facility is. I helped check in alumni, business leaders, and academic staff for lunch, which was hosted in a beautiful suite of rooms on the third floor. Meanwhile, senior engineering students displayed their projects on the main arena floor. It is an outstanding venue for academic and professional events. Greek life plays an important role at UNC CHARLOTTE, contributing to leadership development, service, and campus engagement. The university is home to a wide range of fraternities and sororities representing social, professional, and service-based organizations. These chapters are deeply involved in philanthropy, community service, and student leadership across campus. The strength and professionalism of Charlotte's Greek community reflect the university's broader emphasis on character, service, and lifelong connection referred to by the university as the "Gold Standard." Sigma Phi Epsilon has a strong alumni presence at CHARLOTTE (Sig Ep NC Nu), and we also have student Brothers actively chartering a chapter on campus. We recently held an executive workshop in one of the meeting rooms in the Student Union. Sig Ep's Balanced Man program is unique to Greek organizations and will benefit the university and student Brothers. Like many of Charlotte's academic, athletic, and student facilities, the Student Union is impressive -- modern, well-designed, and comparable to professional conference centers I've experienced throughout my career. It was perfect for the Sig Ep Executive Workshop. UNC CHARLOTTE continues to grow and achieve excellence, just as the City of Charlotte itself has emerged as a premier urban and economic center. The university proudly brands itself as "Charlotte's University," and that identity truly fits. The William States Lee College of Engineering, in particular, has gained national visibility, climbing steadily in U.S. News & World Report rankings. Its graduate programs in civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering rank among the top 100 nationwide. The college is also home to one of the nation's most highly regarded motorsports engineering programs -- a perfect fit for the Charlotte region. A truly great university in a great city!

Probably one of the most disturbing things you could ever hear in your life…read more I am trying to donate to Kidney UNC Chapel Hill - after calling them multiple times and finally getting a response from the transplant department from a lady named Teresa. She said she would start the process.. A week later I called and said what is going on. I haven't heard back from you. There's probably people that need a kidney and she told me the lady that does all the paperwork for insurance is on vacation. It might be a little while.. I asked her how can you tell the people that are waiting for a kidney, we have a donor however the person who can save your life is on vacation.. I guess this is how people in North Carolina are... So sad .

(As a gay student, some homophobia and transphobia coming from certain teachers, not severe but very accepting other than that.)
