The Board of Education and Interim Superintendent Dr. Carol Montague-Davis extended our sincere appreciation to Warren County Emergency Services—including the Fire Departments, Police Departments, and Emergency Management—for their swift and coordinated response to the dump truck fire on the campus of Mariam Boyd Elementary School on February 28, 2025. Their professionalism, dedication, and commitment to the safety of our students, staff, and community exemplify the highest standards of public service. We are deeply grateful for their continued partnership and unwavering support of our school system.

Students at Mariam Boyd Elementary showed their appreciation earlier Tuesday afternoon with a special “clapout parade” for emergency responders. Students made heartfelt signs and thank you cards for those emergency responders. They lined the hallways of the school, sang, cheered, gave high-fives, and gave hugs to emergency responders as they walked through the halls.

The Board of Education and Interim Superintendent Dr. Carol Montague-Davis honored three high school students selected from more than 1,850 statewide nominees to attend the 2025 session of the North Carolina Governor’s School:

• Stephanie Green – Mathematics | Warren Early College High School

• Araceli Recentes – Natural Science | Warren Early College High School

• Seth Weinberg – Visual Arts | Warren County High School

The North Carolina Governor's School is a four-week summer residential program that integrates academic disciplines, the arts, and unique courses for gifted and talented high school students. To be awarded this opportunity, students must be nominated by their school district and undergo a competitive selection process.

Congratulations to these students on this well-deserved honor! Thank you to School Counselors Ms. Teresa Taylor and Ms. Lenora Parks for their invaluable support throughout the nomination process.

The Board of Education and Interim Superintendent Dr. Carol Montague-Davis recognized these seven students who participated in the Youth Legislative Assembly March 7-9 at the General Assembly in Raleigh.

• Alonna Evans

• Demetrius McKinzie

• Summer Murphy

• Kmira Richardson

• Shaira Saldo

• Evan Silver

• Juan Tavira

The Youth Legislative Assembly (YLA) is a mock legislative session where high school students become state law makers to better understand how our local, state, and national governments work. Active participation in YLA increases students' confidence and ability to debate current issues.

Thanks to Mr. Moguel at Warren Early College High School for helping organize and chaperone this wonderful opportunity for students.

The Board of Education and Interim Superintendent Dr. Carol Montague-Davis celebrated our Social Workers as part of School Social Workers Week (March 2-8, 2025). We recognize the vital role these dedicated professionals play in supporting the whole child. School social workers are the bridge between home, school, and community, ensuring that students have the resources and support they need to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Their tireless efforts in advocacy, crisis intervention, and emotional support make a lasting impact on students’ lives. We thank them for being champions of equity, empathy, and student success.

Our School Social Workers:
