⚖️🐾 Panther Teen Court is in action!
On September 14th, our students participated in Panther Teen Court Training, gaining valuable knowledge about leadership, accountability, civic responsibility, and the justice system.
A special thank you to our amazing mentors — Mr. James Ward, Eastern Area Consultant; Lieutenant Steph Simpson; and Chaplain Dr. Kennedy Barber. Their time, guidance, and commitment to our students are helping us build something truly meaningful.
We’re excited to see our Panther Teen Court students learn, lead, and make a positive impact in their school and community! 💙🖤

Two students from WCS had the opportunity to attend North Carolina Governor's School this summer and represent our district in a big way. Shan'ylia Galindo-Pledger (WCHS) and Deshiyah Holley (WCECHS) both gave presentations at the recent board meeting to highlight their experience in the program. Both students reported an amazing, life-changing experience that will help shape their future education careers. We are proud of how they represented the district with excellence, and look forward to new students taking up the reigns next year. Be sure to visit our youtube channel and watch them live in action!
WCS Maintenance Dept. honored our partners with HES Friday, September 11, 2026, by surprising them with breakfast and custom shirts created by the WCHS CTE Marketplace shop. We are proud of our partnership, and salute them for the tireless efforts they give to ensure our school facilities are maintained with the highest standards. Also highlighted is Ms. Stephanie Swain, Employee of the month for September! Be sure to thank our team members for a job well done. #Crazy&Consistent

Today, our JROTC cadets demonstrated the true meaning of service. 🇺🇸
While some of our cadets remained on campus to honor and remember the lives impacted by September 11, others traveled to Weldon to proudly present the colors during the ribbon-cutting ceremony for their new high school.
What an amazing experience and a powerful example of leadership, honor, and service in action. These are the values our JROTC program takes pride in instilling in our students every day.
We are extremely proud of our cadets for representing Washington County with pride and purpose! 🇺🇸🐾

🇺🇸 We Remember. We Honor. We Will Never Forget.
Some of our WCHS JROTC did an outstanding job this morning honoring the lives lost and the sacrifices made on September 11, 2001.
As our cadets lowered the American flag to half-staff, our school community took a moment to reflect on the tremendous loss our nation experienced that day, while also remembering the courage, unity, and strength that followed.
Today, we remember the victims, the families forever changed, and the first responders and heroes who answered the call.
Thank you to our JROTC cadets for leading us in this meaningful moment of remembrance.
🇺🇸 September 11, 2001 — We Will Never Forget.

The House of Amari want to give a big shout and thanks to Mr. Larry Williams. He made a generous donation to our students for a sip and taste of success. We thank him for his support and his kindness that always flows through the building.
🌎💻 Real-world experiences are key! Today, students in Ms. Lawrence’s Adobe Academy class had the opportunity to interview Robert Wheeless, who works with NC Stop Human Trafficking to spread awareness and provide training to help address human trafficking. This was more than an interview—it was an opportunity for our students to strengthen their communication, interviewing, media, and production skills while learning about an important real-world issue. The experience was impactful, engaging, and exactly the kind of hands-on learning we want to see in our classrooms! 🐾💙 Connecting classroom skills to real people, real careers, and real issues—that’s CTE in action! #CTEInAction #AdobeAcademy #RealWorldLearning #HandsOnLearning #PantherPride
💚🦋 The House of Zuri is spreading love and making sure our newest teacher feels right at home!

It’s the little things that help build a strong school family. Six Houses. One School. 🐾

🌎💡 Connections are unlimited when we expose our students to new possibilities!
Today, our students were highly engaged as we welcomed guest speaker Darrion Webster, an Elizabeth City native and owner of a Web3 company specializing in trading, cryptocurrency, blockchain technology, artificial intelligence, financial systems, and investing.
Mr. Webster has shared his knowledge with students at Northeastern High School, Fayetteville State University, and Elizabeth City State University, and today our Panthers had the opportunity to learn from his experience.
From financial literacy to emerging technology, our students were introduced to concepts shaping the future—and they were locked in! 📈💻
A special thank you to Mr. Walker for using his connections to bring this opportunity directly to our students. Experiences like this remind us that learning extends far beyond the classroom.
Exposure creates possibilities. Connections create opportunities. 💙🖤
