Early exposure makes all the difference! 🌟
Check out some of our 6th graders exploring hands-on STEM projects at the NCCU BRITE (Biomanufacturing Research Institute and Technology Enterprise) building.
The BRITE Program at North Carolina Central University introduces students to exciting opportunities in biotechnology, biomedical research, and pharmaceutical sciences. Through interactive labs and real-world applications, BRITE helps students build curiosity, confidence, and skills that could lead to future STEM careers. 🧬🔬

A major part of Career and Technical Education (CTE) is exposure!
We understand that students may choose a trade, pursue a four-year degree, or enter the workforce directly — but no matter where they land, our goal is to ensure they are informed and inspired by all available opportunities.
Today, some of our CTE students are attending the Highway Construction Career Days at the Bob Martin Center, hosted by the N.C. Department of Transportation’s Office of Civil Rights On-the-Job Training Program.
This event is designed for high school, homeschooled, and community college students, offering them the chance to:
🔹 Connect with industry professionals
🔹 Participate in hands-on activities
🔹 Explore pathways to exciting careers that help build and strengthen communities across North Carolina

Our group had the opportunity to work hands-on with the Art and Band departments at ECSU, and what an incredible experience it was! 🎨🎶
This dynamic visit not only gave our students a chance to explore their creativity but also sparked interest in both programs. In addition, they were able to see the beautiful ECSU campus and see all that it has to offer #Art #Band #ECSU #RealWorldExposure #CollegeConnections

A self-guided tour hits different when you’re guided by familiar faces!
Huge shoutout to Ms. Sykes and Ms. Williams both are proud UNC graduates and current WCHS teachers are navigating our group through the massive UNC campus with confidence and care. Nothing beats seeing our very own leading the way where their journeys began! We're just getting started. CTE #Collegetour #WCHS #UNC

🙏🏽 To Our Dedicated Instructional Coaches 🙏🏽
We realized that October 6th was National Instructional Coaches Day, and in the busyness of everything happening, we didn't pause to celebrate you on that day. So we're taking this moment now, because your impact on our teachers and students deserves to be recognized, no matter the date on the calendar.
Thank you for being the bridge between vision and practice in the classrooms. Your work often happens behind the scenes, in planning sessions, side-by-side coaching moments, and countless conversations, but its impact resonates in every lesson taught and every student reached.
You celebrate strengths, troubleshoot challenges, and help turn professional development into real classroom transformation. Your ability to listen deeply, ask the right questions, and provide just-in-time support makes you important to the learning community.
Thank you for your patience when change feels slow, your creativity in finding solutions, and your unwavering belief that every teacher can grow. You model lifelong learning and reflective practice in everything you do. The ripple effect of your work extends far beyond what can be measured. You're shaping teaching, and in turn, shaping the educational experiences of countless students.
We see you, we appreciate you, and we're grateful for all you do.

What an awesome day for our 5K Walk!
Our JROTC cadets ran the show at the registration table and DJ booth, keeping the energy high from start to finish. Mrs. Bell made sure we started in style with a balloon entrance, while members of our varsity squad volunteered to motivate participants during laps. The SIMPS Cheer Squad brought the hype with great cheer entertainment, and our staff and community truly showed out with their support. If you have pictures please post them using #WCHS5k

College tours are top tier for our students! They help them finalize their college choices and build meaningful connections. Thanks to our Community School resources our College Advisor and Counselor took a group of WCS interested seniors to tour North Carolina Central University (NCCU). Students were able to dine on campus and see some of our WCHS alumni thriving and navigating college life. It was an amazing experience and an inspiring day for our future college scholars!

Sincerely,
