My Students

Our school is an academically successful, rural, high school that is filled to the brim with about 900 wonderful students. We serve our military community as well, pulling in students whose parents work at the USMC and Naval facilities at either Camp Lejeune, Cherry Point, Bogue Air Field, or the two Coast Guard stations.

In the state's ranking system, our high-performing high school has been ranked as a top ten public high school in NC for eleven consecutive years.

We are proud of our success in the classroom.

On September 13, 2018, our community was hit by Hurricane Florence. Although the hurricane might have re-shaped us, it won't define us. We were CarteretStrong then and my students remain that way now: strong, resilient, flexible, and hard-working.

We are on a roll. We are luckily located by coastal waters and it's a perfect background to teach the Sciences for which I am honored to be the facilitator. For my students, there's always something to improve on, excite our class, and re-energize our learning.

My Project

This project consists of a unique classroom experience for my Marine Science Classes - A squid dissection with a North Carolina environmental educator as a classroom visitor! This is truly a bargain!

The educator will present three sessions for my classes; the lead teacher will present an excellent lesson on the phylum Mollusca and bring all materials and specimens for an in-class dissection of a squid!

Students will be in groups of two. My marine science students absolutely love dissections and this one led by a qualified environmental educator will be awesome.

Additionally, I have requested 40 specimens of preserved seastars for the 3 classes. Again, students will work in pairs but this time I will lead this dissection. Two boxes of safe, nitrile gloves are included in the project, as well.

Science students are always intrigued by the organs, systems, or "parts" of an organism. Since our class is located on the coast, these are especially interesting labs. Please consider helping my students with these two wonderful experiences. Thank you!
