Her positivity is contagious! She implements activities that get the students up and moving, as well as facilitates team building activities. She has created a welcoming and safe classroom environment for her diverse group of students. Ms. McDonald shows a commitment to her students and the school by going above and beyond her teaching assignments. We are very blessed to have her!” said former Wayne Avenue School Principal, Mesha Campbell. “Research tells us that if we want all students to succeed, each student needs to participate equally.

First Federal Bank Sherry’s Bakery DTH Management Group, Ltd. Bleecker Chevrolet Twenty-five students recently participated in the spring 2015 Laser & Photonics FUN with Lasers Workshop on Central Carolina Community College’s Harnett Campus. Gary Beasley, who is Lead Instructor for the CCCC’s Laser & Photonics program, conducted the event. Students attended from schools across Harnett County including Coats-Erwin and Dunn middle schools; Triton high school; and Cape Fear Christian Academy . Lab Assistants Chris Baggett, Kaitlyn Camp, Colt Dudley, and Alex Voytik were on hand to demonstrate how electrical components are used to conduct light, melt a brick using a high-powered laser beam, and show students a colorful light display using an Argon-Krypton Laser. The workshop taught students how crystals and fiber are incorporated into the technology they use every day. Students watched as their names appeared on a nametag with the use of the CO2 Engraving Laser. (Article and photo courtesy of CCCC) An Academic Honors Breakfast was held on Tuesday, March 10 at Triton High School, sponsored by the Triton Academic Booster Club. During the breakfast, 350 students were honored for earning a grade point average of 3.63 or higher. Students were treated to a chicken biscuit breakfast and a visit from Clayton White, a 1996 Triton graduate and football standout who played for N.C. State and was drafted by the New York Giants. Now he serves as the safety and co-special teams coordinator at N.C. State. Mr. White said speaking to a group of top academic students was quite a challenge, as he usually talked to groups of kids in danger of dropping out of high school—those who considered themselves “too cool for school.” He stressed the qualities of leaders—focus, determination and perseverance, but added that true leaders and “most valuable players” also help those around them achieve, as well. In closing Mr. White said, “keep getting better, keep rising, and if you do that and bring someone else with you, that makes you the real MVP.” (Article and photo courtesy of The Daily Record/Keilah Goff) Reaves Houston, a senior at Triton High School has been selected as a recipient of the Morehead-Cain Scholarship offered by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

On March 9th officials from the City, County, State and National legislatures met at DeBorah's Restaurant for an update on the state of the various areas of government in Harnett County. Dunn Mayor Oscar Harris reported on three upcoming events for the City including the dedication of the new Rooms to Go; the dedication of the official re-opening of Tyler Park; and the expansion of sewer lines over to Love's Travel Stop, of which Love's is covering the total cost and will allow others to tap into the City water supply creating future income. Bill Tyson of CCCC spoke about the offerings at the new Dunn Campus which will offer culinary and hospitality programs with state-of -the-art equipment; as well as a program for High School students to receive college credits towards an Associates degree prior to graduating. County Public Information Officer Brian Haney spoke about several projects including the expansion of Ray Road in western Harnett County; an expansion at the water treatment plant, increasing water treatment from 24 million gallons to 42 million gallons. He also spoke about the economic growth, citing the building of a Walmart Super Center on Hwy. 87, as well as Campbell University's expansion to the Osteopathic School and an engineering program. The County Economic Development and Planning Depart. will collaborate on updating the county's economic development and comprehensive land use plan; last updated over 10 years ago. Senator Ronald Rabin is focused on economic growth for Harnett County, continuing his work on the tax code, containing spending and reducing regulations on businesses. He is also a great proponent of the partnerships with community college systems. He also spoke to the recent gas tax discussions. Another initiative for the Senator is to reintroduce a bill to lessen the term limits for legislatures to a four-year term, with a four-term limit. Representative David Lewis also spoke to the gas tax issue, stating the need for a long term solution to avoid loss of revenue. He also hopes the Department of Transportation will be able to add efficiencies to continue to support the need for road infrastructure and maintenance. Rep. Lewis also spoke to the necessity of the historic tax credit to continue to give all counties in the state the ability to use and receive monies to refurbish historic buildings and sites. He liked to see the credits converted to a grant program. Pat Fitzgerald spoke on behalf of Congresswoman Renee Ellmers efforts in Washington and locally. She stated Congresswoman Ellmers has passed a bi-partisan anti-human trafficking bill to help fund training of front line emergency workers to identify and deal with human trafficking in hospitals and medical facilities. She also spoke about another bi-partisan bill, call the 21st Century Cure Initiative, which will allow for the discovery and delivery of cures and treatments. Congresswoman Ellmers is also still working on maintaining the 440th Airborne Wing at Fort Bragg. Russell Galvan, Vice President of the Chamber's Governmental Affairs Committee concluded the meeting by thanking everyone for attending and for all the officials presenting on behalf of their respective offices.
