🚔 ARRESTED! Help us bail out Mr. Orrock!
It’s official—the law has caught up with Mr. Orrock! His crime? Caring way too much about education. 🍎
On April 23rd, he’ll be heading behind bars for the Bladen County Educational Foundation Jail-a-Thon. He’s stuck until he raises enough "bail" to be released. Will you help us bring him home to West Bladen?

Mr. Nunnery’s Horticulture class has been a tremendous support in helping the Knights of Excellence begin their vegetable garden. Students worked together to prepare the soil, plant seeds, and learn about proper care for growing vegetables. This collaboration provided hands-on learning opportunities while building teamwork and responsibility among all students involved. The experience not only supports life skills development for the Knights of Excellence, but also fosters meaningful connections between programs across campus.
