Nineteen Edgecombe Community College students, instructors, and staff participated in the college’s Adopt-A-Highway cleanup on Saturday, March 16, sponsored by the college’s chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) honor society. The Alpha Omega Nu chapter at ECC has been responsible for a three-mile stretch of road in front of the Tarboro campus since 2000 and sponsors cleanup events twice a year. The group collected 53 bags of trash.
