East Wake Academy (EWA) is a public charter school located in Zebulon, North Carolina, United States. Founded in 1998, the school is made up of three separate academies to cover grades K–12, with admission to the academies being decided via lottery system. The creation of the school was conceived in October 1997 by a group of locals led by Susan King, with the intention to bring greater school choice to the area. After a rocky first school year characterized by the student body being spread out across two buildings in Knightdale and Wendell, the school was centralized into its current location in Zebulon in 1999 under Headmaster Michelle Taylor, and school spirit improved. Since 2012, two employees have been fired for criminal sexual activity.
