This morning, in collaboration with the Bladen County Sheriff’s Office, our school participated in a lockdown drill. There was NO emergency. This drill provided us with the opportunity to practice our lockdown procedures.
Again, there was no emergency situation. All students and staff are safe, and our school day has proceeded as scheduled.
If you have any questions, please contact the school office at 910-863-3232.
Friday, 10/23, Bus #64 will not run the PM route. Please make plans to pick up your child. We are sorry for any inconvenience but we thank you for your understanding.



🧡 WEAR ORANGE WEDNESDAY! 🧡
This Wednesday, October 21, join Bladen County Schools in celebrating Unity Day by wearing orange to show your support for kindness, acceptance and inclusion.
Unity Day reminds us that everyone deserves to feel safe, valued and included. Together, we can stand against bullying and help create school communities where every student knows they belong.
🧡 Wear orange.
🧡 Stand together.
