Anthony Bernard Mccauley

Anthony B. McCauley is a candidate for an at‑large seat on the Moore County Board of Education in the 2026 nonpartisan election; he appeared on the March 3, 2026 primary ballot for the Moore County Schools, At‑large position [1]. The board is a nonpartisan governing body that oversees the county’s public schools, and the at‑large seats are elected county‑wide rather than from a single district [1].

McCauley describes himself as a mental‑health professional and Certified School Social Worker. He has worked for the North Carolina Department of Adult Corrections and previously served as a social worker for Moore County Schools [4]. He also founded and serves as CEO of the nonprofit Males of Distinction, a program that mentors at‑risk youth and provides wrap‑around services [4][10].

His career spans both education and corrections. After serving as an In‑School Mentor Coordinator with Moore Buddies, he launched Males of Distinction to address the school‑to‑prison pipeline [10]. He has also held positions as a Moore County Schools Social Worker and as an employee of the state corrections department, giving him a unique perspective on both sides of the pipeline [4].

McCauley’s community work has earned public recognition. He was named an “Everyday Hero” by Spectrum News‑Raleigh for his mentorship of roughly 20 young people and his broader community impact [10][11]. In addition, he is the author of five books on personal development and education [11].

His campaign platform emphasizes parent‑school partnership, mental‑health support, and restorative‑justice practices. He pledges to improve communication channels between families and schools, create family resource centers, and ensure counselors and social workers are present in every school [4]. He also advocates for competitive teacher compensation, recruitment of diverse educators from HBCUs, expansion of Career & Technical Education, and the development of community‑based mentorship and internship programs [4].
