🏆🦅 BIG HEARTS. BOLD LEADERSHIP. EAGLE EXCELLENCE. 🦅🏆

Craven County Schools is proud to celebrate two outstanding West Craven High School student-athletes who prove that true success goes far beyond the scoreboard. These Eagles lead with character, teamwork, dedication, and a commitment to putting others first!

Presented by Dr. Cheeseman, Superintendent, this recognition honors students who shine in academics, athletics, and service to their teams and school community.

🎾 MADISON POWELL | Women’s Tennis

Madison brings excellence wherever she goes on the tennis court, in band, and in the classroom!

With an impressive 4.36 GPA and a ranking of 10th in her senior class, she shows what determination and hard work can achieve. But Madison’s impact reaches far beyond her accomplishments.

She is a constant source of encouragement for her teammates, cheering them on, offering support, and leading by example. Her positive attitude and selfless spirit make her an exceptional teammate and an outstanding Eagle!

⚽ JAYDEN RAMIREZ CASTRO | Men’s Soccer

Jayden knows that sometimes the most powerful move is putting the team first.

After succeeding as a starting striker, Jayden recognized that his team needed defensive support. Without hesitation, he approached his coaches and volunteered to change positions, giving up personal scoring opportunities to help the Eagles succeed.

Since making the switch, the Eagles have won half of their games! Jayden also maintains a GPA above 3.0, proving that his leadership and commitment extend well beyond the field.

👏 Congratulations, Madison and Jayden!

Craven County Schools is incredibly proud of the way you represent West Craven High School. Your dedication to academics, athletics, and your teammates makes you true CHAMPIONS in every sense of the word!

❤️💙 EAGLE PRIDE IS STRONG! 🦅

📚✨ BRINGING BOOKS TO LIFE AT TUCKER CREEK MIDDLE SCHOOL! ⚡🚤

Reading became an adventure for Jennifer Nipper’s 6th Grade ELA Plus students at Tucker Creek Middle School as they brought the novel The City of Ember to life through exciting extension and enrichment activities!

With the support of AIG Specialist David Rackley, Media Coordinator Cheri Brody, and wonderful volunteers, students put their creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills to the test through hands-on challenges inspired by the book!

🧭 Navigating direction and guidance challenges
⚡ Building power grids using Snap Circuits
🚤 Designing and racing boats
🔎 Uncovering hidden quote messages

These engaging activities took learning beyond the pages of the book, encouraging students to collaborate, think outside the box, and make meaningful connections to the story.

👏 A BIG thank you to our amazing educators and volunteers for creating memorable learning experiences that spark curiosity and make reading come alive!

This is what happens when literacy, creativity, and hands-on learning come together! 💡📖
