Public Safety Day

On Thursday, February 1, 2024, approximately 60 students, currently enrolled in Public Safety Courses at our Traditional High Schools, had an opportunity to come together for an action-packed day filled with learning.

Our hosts, Craven Community College, planned a variety of sessions, demonstrations, and a panel discussion so students could make connections regarding Public Safety career paths in our community.

Students heard firsthand from Sheriff Hughes and a magistrate on what their responsibilities are and what it takes to get to job done.

The hands-on sessions included an EMT/Ambulance Simulator, Basic Law Enforcement Training, Crime Scene Investigating, and an Electrophoresis Lab provided by BIONET. The day concluded with a demonstration provided by the Canine Unit.

This day left a lasting impression on our students and we are grateful for our wonderful partnership with CCC. What a fantastic way to kick off CTE Month.

A special THANK YOU to Tucker Creek Middle School for being such gracious hosts today for the Southeast NC Digital Leaders Exchange presented by NCDPI.

This professional learning day highlighted the Human Capacity strand of the Digital Learning Plan.

The sessions offered focused on the following goals:

Goal 1 – All staff have continuous access to quality professional learning that is utilized and accessed regularly for continuous growth.

Goal 2 – There is consistent and equitable access to Instructional Technology Facilitators and School Library Media Coordinators to support the implementation of digital teaching and learning strategies.

Goal 3 – Technical staff is available to effectively support all staff and students with minimal disruptions to teaching and learning.

We are grateful so many in our region had an opportunity to visit and it was so nice to see some of our former colleagues back in Craven County while traveling across the state.

We are all #lifelonglearners !

CONGRATULATIONS

On Saturday, February 2, Mrs. Amanda Whitford conducted the Midde School Concert Band at the NCBA-Eastern All-District Band Clinic. Each year the band directors of the district elect one of their own to conduct the Middle School Concert Band, and Mrs. Whitford was chosen to lead this year’s ensemble. Her hard work and preparation were evident in her leadership in the two-day clinic and concert. Amanda’s excellence in the classroom gave her the opportunity to serve the district and teach those who earned a seat in the ensemble, and she made Craven County proud!
