Through our exciting partnership with Cape Fear Community College's Career Academy program, our CTE students explored future career possibilities by completing a career interest survey. From chefs and nurses to cosmetologists and welders (and yes, even some aspiring pro athletes and YouTubers!), our students are dreaming big about their futures!
We randomly selected four winners from each grade level to receive prizes for their participation.
Congratulations to:
6th Grade Winners:
🥇 Natalie Williams | 🥈 Levi Moosman | 🥉 Nehemiah Simpson | 4️⃣ Samuel Rollings
7th Grade Winners:
🥇 McKinley Maertens | 🥈 Morgan Smith | 🥉 Hawke Nichols | 4️⃣ Madison Mayes
8th Grade Winners:
🥇 MaKenna Midgett | 🥈 JaMia McKoy | 🥉 Tripp Peedin | 4️⃣ Bella Strickland
This survey helps us bring relevant guest speakers and field trip opportunities to our students, connecting classroom learning with real-world career pathways. Thank you to all students who participated and to CFCC for this valuable partnership!

Mr. Elmore would like to recognize Kallen Felix for his win at the 4th Annual Camel City Classic arm wrestling tournament this past weekend. This was his first competition and he and his family traveled all the way to Winston-Salem to compete. Through persistent training with Mr. Elmore's arm wrestling club and coming to practice with the Port City Pullers, he came in ready to compete and won his class.
