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!

Today, a group of our WCMS 6th-grade scholars had the privilege of exploring the North Carolina Central University Campus. Their adventure was centered around the BRITE (Biomanufacturing Research Institute and Technology Enterprise) Program. The students participated in a Pipette Challenge, honing their skills in accurately picking up tips and samples. This field experience was an excellent opportunity for our students to dive into hands-on learning, offering them an early glimpse into the world of biomanufacturing and research. #HandsOnLearning #EarlyExposure.

Thank You to our scholars, parents and guardians, staff and community stakeholders for aiding the WCHS JROTC Panther Battalion Cadres and the American Red Cross. The goal was to successfully collect 18 pints of blood during this Blood Drive. With everyone's assistance the goal was exceeded to 21 pints of blood donated. There were over 32 individuals to register and proceed to the screening process. Even though a few were not able to donate, they made the effort and hopefully they will be able to donate for the next Blood Drive. Many lives will benefit from your generous donation of the Gift of Life.
