CES Dual Language Spelling Bee was an awesome event! Scholars were afforded the opportunity to select a number, recite in Spanish, receive a word and spell it in Spanish. There were 4 rounds per grade level. The last round was the elimination round. Scholars were awarded 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Congratulations to everyone! Thank you to our International Teachers for teaching our scholars to speak Dual Languages.

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week! It is a national holiday celebrated the first week of May. Take some time to thank a Teacher for impacting the lives of our Scholars everyday. Teachers provide skills and lifelong strategies each day. Washington County Schools appreciates our teachers for all that they do in the classroom and beyond. A dinner was planned and provided for our teachers.

WITN's BEST OF THE BEST 2024 - WCECHS - Rachel Price attends Washington County Early College High School as a senior and is currently dual-enrolled at Beaufort County Community College. Currently, she lives with my parents and brother, while her two older sisters attends college at ECU. Rachel spends most of her time reading, pressing flowers, or walking with her cat Jasmine. Jasmine is a nine-year-old calico cat with no teeth, but she is still pretty active. When she graduates, she plans to attend UNC-Chapel Hill or NC State to receive a degree in Environmental Science. She has always loved being outdoors and staying active, so she hopes the job she will get in the future will allow her to do both.

WCHS - Reality of Money Event was generously sponsored by SECU. Witness our dedicated community stakeholders generously volunteering their time to ensure our scholars were well-informed about the transition to adulthood and financial responsibility. 🎉 Our scholars dove into an exciting "Reality of Money" event backed by SECU!

Navigating various centers like Housing 🏠, Grocery 🛒, Health Insurance 💊, Dollar and Sense 💵, Clothing 👕, Child Care 🧸, Entertainment 🎬, Transportation 🚗, and Communication 📱, they gained valuable insights. This engaging experience proved both fun and enlightening for our upperclassmen!
