Our 8th grade students have been hard at work laying the foundation for their futures! As part of their Career Development Plan, students explored their strengths and interests through a skills match activity on NCCareers.org, helping them discover potential career paths that align with who they are and what they love.
In addition, each student completed their Four-Year Plan, mapping out the courses and experiences they’ll need throughout high school to stay on track with their goals.
To add some fun to the journey, students who completed both activities were entered into a student-led “Eggs Packed with Goodies” prize drawing—because planning your future should come with a little reward!
We’re proud of their focus, effort, and excitement as they begin planning what comes next!
Congratulations to the winners!
The 5th grade students are officially getting their hands dirty—in the best way possible! Thanks to the initiative of our amazing 5th grade team and the support of a STEM grant, our students are diving into a hands-on, interdisciplinary project inside our brand-new greenhouse!
This project merges Science, Math, and Technology as students explore the world of plant growth while designing and testing their own irrigation systems. From calculating water flow and measuring plant needs to using tech tools for design and monitoring, our young innovators are putting classroom knowledge into real-world action.

Our Horticulture students are getting their hands dirty in the greenhouse—where learning meets the soil! From transplanting seedlings to maintaining plant beds, students are applying what they’ve learned in class to real-life experiences that grow both skills and confidence.
Mr. Braddy, our welding instructor, set up a friendly competition against other high school welders across the BCCC network—and our students showed up and showed out!
A huge congratulations to our first-time competitors:
• Jahvier – 6th Place
• Jesus – 3rd Place
We’re proud of both of you for representing WCHS Welding with skill and confidence!
All other welding students participated in a manufacturing tour, gaining hands-on experience and real-world insight into the welding.

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!

👨🏭✨ Motivation Monday with a Special Guest! ✨👩🏭
This morning, our welding students received a dose of inspiration from none other than Mayor Brian Roth 💬🔥
He stopped by to speak with our future welders about the incredible opportunities in the skilled trades, highlighting pathways to success in welding and advanced manufacturing. 💼💡
Even more exciting, our students are preparing for an upcoming tour of a leading manufacturing company in Virginia, where they’ll get an up-close look at the industry in action and explore potential career paths. 🛠️🚛
