WITN's BEST OF THE BEST 2024 - WCECHS - Rachel Price attends Washington County Early College High School as a senior and is currently dual-enrolled at Beaufort County Community College. Currently, she lives with my parents and brother, while her two older sisters attends college at ECU. Rachel spends most of her time reading, pressing flowers, or walking with her cat Jasmine. Jasmine is a nine-year-old calico cat with no teeth, but she is still pretty active. When she graduates, she plans to attend UNC-Chapel Hill or NC State to receive a degree in Environmental Science. She has always loved being outdoors and staying active, so she hopes the job she will get in the future will allow her to do both.

Pines Elementary School hosted the Teddy Bear Fair event in partnership with ECU Health Bertie/Chowan Hospital put for the kindergarten scholars. The scholars were allowed to rotate to different stations, while learning different topics on Safety, Hand Hygiene, Vitals, Stroke, Nutrition, Dental, X-ray, Asthma, and Medicine. The scholars wore a doctor's hat or nurse's hat for the day. They also receive toothbrush kits, books, and a Teddy Bear to go home with. This fun and learning experience for the scholars also helps children not to fear the hospital or doctor’s office.
Washington County Middle School 8th graders had an eye-opening visit to our local branch of State Employees' Credit Union! Our scholars got an inside look at banking with a tour, exploring safe deposit boxes, coin collectors, and the daily tasks of bank tellers and financial advisors. Plus, they learned practical skills like writing checks, managing a check register, and even gained interview preparation tips. With SECU's motto 'People Helping People' in mind, students also discovered exciting career opportunities. Empowering our youth for a brighter financial future! Ms. B. Lawrence

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. Mrs. Denise Harris
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.
