Welcome to the BCS Family! 🍳☕

This morning, we celebrated our newest team members at the annual New Employee Breakfast — a warm welcome to those joining Bladen County Schools!

All week, these talented educators have been learning and preparing for the year ahead with district administrators and NC New Teacher Support Program Instructional Coach, Carrie Brewington. Through the district’s Beginning Teacher program, these educators will continue to receive guidance, resources, and encouragement throughout their first three years in the classroom — because great teaching grows with great support.

We’re excited for the difference they will make in the lives of our students, and we can’t wait to see all they accomplish in 2025–2026! 💙💛

🎨 Building Layers, Building Connections 🌟

With lots of new faces in the building—the Early College team prepped for students with a creative twist on team building. Staff used watercolor painting to explore the idea of “adding layers” — just as we layer support, encouragement, and opportunity for our students’ success.

We’re ready for a great year—Go Nighthawks!
