A reminder to student drivers who park on campus. Parking passes should be displayed clearly on the car windshield. Students parking without permits will be addressed by school administration. Additionally, students need to observe safety in the parking lot - to include parking and driving. Student driving and parking on campus is a privilege and can be revoked for non compliance with rules and expectations.
The Patriot Way includes expectations of readiness for learning. We have been advising students of dress code over the past few weeks. School attire should be appropriate for the learning environment. A reminder that dress code expectations include no headgear of any kind, no blankets or pajama pants. Electronic Devices should be put away from 7:30-2:40 and students should arrive on time to class.
Prom tickets are on sale, students must get a code from Mrs. Mayo in the library. Any fees that need to be paid in person should be paid on Wednesday April 1st. The most convenient way to pay fees is using School Cash Online: https://carteretcounty.schoolcashonline.com/.

In Patriot Athletics: Lacrosse had a big home win over New Bern last week, and Baseball and Softball also continued their winning ways - we had an extra inning win at Havelock in Baseball while Softball won 4-3 - and both teams got shutouts on Friday night at home. Soccer netted 5 goals in a win over Havelock on Tuesday and battled in a double overtime tie on Friday hosting Northside.

West Carteret High School Marine Science students recently visited the NC Division of Marine Fisheries to explore how scientists determine the age of fish using otoliths, or ear bones. This hands-on experience gave students a deeper understanding of marine research and fisheries management right here in our state.
A big thank you to the WCHS Community Partnership Academic Booster Club for helping sponsor field trip opportunities like this for our students. Your support makes learning come to life! 💙🤍

West Carteret Patriot Update: 3.1.26
Good afternoon, here is your Weekly Patriot for March 1st.
I appreciate student, staff, and community support as we approach the last week of Term 4. Last week we administered our ACT successfully and conducted our biannual practice lockdown. Our Winter Athletes competed hard in basketball as they both traveled in the second round and we also celebrated with a pancake breakfast on Friday morning hosted by our Student Government. Two Wrestlers placed in the State Tournament and several Indoor Track members also placed in the State.
Last week we celebrated wonderful employee awards:
Madison Clark was voted our Beginning Teacher of the Year,
Laura Prestwich was voted our Classified Employee of the Year,
Mickie Broadhurst was voted our Certified Employee of the Year, and
Jessica Lewis was voted our Teacher of the Year.
These awards highlight my pride in leading Patriot Nation alongside all the excellent staff members that support our total school program.
Registration for the upcoming school year will be underway this coming month. Students have received course descriptions from Mrs. Turner in an email on Friday, and our Counseling team will begin classroom visits to meet with each individual student in a 1:1 conference to support course selection for next year. Please have conversations with your student on best course selections. On Monday night we will host our Community Partnership Academic Booster Club meeting at 5:00 in the Media Center. Mrs. Turner will provide information on course registration and Mrs. Mayo will provide information on College planning.
Please enjoy the rest of your evening and let us know if we can support you in any way at the schoolhouse.
