HIGH SCHOOL CLOSING EARLY
Due to significant heating issues at the High School, we have decided to release students at 10:30 a.m. We are sorry for this inconvenience, but the safety of our students and staff are our priority. Students should complete all assignments in Google classroom. We will update you on the building status later on today.
In recognition of National Career Development Month, Governor Roy Cooper has officially proclaimed November as Career Development Month, with November 13th designated as National Career Development Coordinator Day. Washington County Schools is proud to honor the dedication and hard work of Mrs. Denise Harris, our exceptional Career Development Coordinator (CDC).
CDCs counsel students through the process of exploring career opportunities and understanding the diverse paths available to them after high school. Through Career and Technical Education (CTE), students acquire vital skills such as problem-solving, creativity, leadership, and employability—skills that are crucial for success in today’s workforce and that contribute to the growth and prosperity of our state and nation.
Mrs. Harris works tirelessly to empower our students. Helping them make informed decisions about their futures, whether they plan to enter the workforce, pursue higher education, or serve in the military.
Today, we celebrate Mrs. Harris’s unwavering commitment to supporting students as they pursue their career aspirations and create bright futures.
Thank you Mrs. Harris!
We are excited to celebrate Ms. Jardine Morgan! On November 15, 2024, she was recognized as the district's Outstanding Elementary Math Teacher for the 2024-2025 school year. This prestigious award, presented by the North Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCCTM) and the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI), honors educators who inspire student success, demonstrate a strong record of academic achievement, and make meaningful contributions to mathematics education. Ms. Morgan's unwavering commitment to fostering a love of learning and establishing a strong mathematical foundation for her students truly sets her apart. Congratulations, Ms. Morgan!
