Today we took time to celebrate three incredible administrators.
From supporting students and staff to handling the behind-the-scenes details that make a big difference.
Dr. Carmack, Mr. Hines, and Mr. Young thank you for your dedication, leadership, and commitment to making our schools a better place for everyone.
Had an awesome learning experience in our Foods & Nutrition class on Friday! We were thrilled to welcome SGT Bonner from Ravon, North Carolina National Guard, A1 Co, Recruiting & Retention. He took us on an engaging journey into the world of military food services. Not only did we learn about the benefits of serving in the National Guard, but we also got an up-close look at how field food is packaged, stored, and even got to taste some of it as it would be used on assignment!
Here are some cool facts about military field food:
• MREs (Meals, Ready-to-Eat): Designed to provide balanced nutrition in extreme conditions, these meals are crafted to supply roughly 1,200 calories per day per meal when fully assembled for a soldier’s daily needs.
• Long Shelf Life: Thanks to advanced packaging, field rations are built to endure various weather conditions and remain safe to eat for extended periods, making them essential for missions in unpredictable environments.
• Convenience & Efficiency: Each meal is pre-cooked, sealed, and ready to heat with minimal preparation, ensuring that soldiers can get essential nutrients even in the field.
• Flavor & Variety: Modern military rations now come in a variety of options to keep morale high and ensure soldiers get not only sustenance but also a taste of home—even when far away.
A special thank you to SGT Bonner for sharing his expertise and for giving us firsthand insight into this unique aspect of military life. This session truly broadened our understanding.
Enjoy a night of fun and community as we connect parents and teachers in a relaxed and festive atmosphere!

Setting the Tone for Success at WCHS! 🐾
Today, our WCHS staff participated in a powerful motivational activity, focusing on how to create, develop, and maintain a positive school culture. Together, we explored what it truly means to be a WCHS Panther—leading with pride, purpose, and passion!
One comment that stood out the most was:
“Be the thermostat instead of the thermometer.”
🔵 A thermometer reacts to the environment—it changes based on what’s happening around it.
🔵 A thermostat sets the tone—it regulates and influences the environment to create the right atmosphere.
#WCHSPanthers #BeTheThermostat #Leadership #MotivationMatters

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We appreciate your support!
📢 WCHS Students Making It Make Cents! 💰💡
Today, all 8th graders and a group of 10th graders attended the “Make It Make Cents” event—a hands-on experience designed to help students connect classroom skills to real-world, profitable scenarios!
Using CTE pathways available at WCHS, students identified essential skills and explored how teamwork boosts efficiency and profitability. Triple Threat Mathematic kept the event engaging, introducing students to podcast creation with full team collaboration. 🎙️✨
This experience not only strengthened their understanding of career pathways but also provided an incredible opportunity to network with former community partners.
