Each month, Bladen County Schools is proud to recognize students and employees from across our district who exemplify what it means to be learners and leaders.

Our Students of the Month represent the very best of their schools—students who show kindness, responsibility, academic effort, and a commitment to personal growth. They model Leader in Me habits in and out of the classroom and make their schools better places to learn and grow.

Our Employees of the Month demonstrate outstanding professionalism, teamwork, and care for others. Whether in the classroom, on a bus, in the cafeteria, or supporting students behind the scenes, these individuals lead with heart and exemplify service and excellence every day.

At the BOE meeting Monday evening, we celebrated the November honorees for the positive impact they make in our schools and community. We are grateful for the example they set and for living out the values that make Bladen County Schools a special place to learn and work.

Congratulations to all of our Students and Employees of the Month!
