This week, our Elementary and Secondary Student Advisory Councils met with Superintendent Dr. Jason Atkinson to share their perspectives on what’s working well in their schools and the challenges they see.

These student leaders represent voices from all of our schools and provide valuable feedback that helps shape the student experience in Bladen County Schools. The council meetings also give students an opportunity to ask questions, offer suggestions, and see leadership in action.

We’re proud of these leaders for speaking up, thinking critically, and helping us continue to grow—together. 🌟

This week, we're celebrating the incredible school social workers across our district in honor of National School Social Work Week! 💙

Our school social workers show up every day for students and families — connecting them to resources, supporting mental health, and helping build strong, caring school communities. We are so grateful for the meaningful work they do.

This year's theme says it all: Unite to Ignite: Celebrating Our Impact. Thank you to our school social workers for igniting change and making a difference in the lives of our students. 🌟

🏀 Congratulations to the Eagles and Knights as they advance in the playoffs!

Bladen Early College High School hosted an absolutely incredible Winter Art Show highlighting their student's incredible artistic talents!
