Today, Warren New Tech would like to recognize Joshua Robinson as our senior of the day. Despite all obstacles, Joshua has pushed through and persevered this school year. He is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure he has completed all requirements and expectations. He has been an athlete throughout his high school years and continued to support his basketball team even when he was recovering this fall. Joshua has been an upstanding student his entire time at New Tech and has always had a great disposition, positive attitude and very mannerable, these are the soft skills that can not be taught.
Joshua has always been a mild mannered. Joshua was always calm and respectful even when he complained about me assigning too much work. Joshua is smart, hardworking and determined. I'm sure that he will use those same attributes in his future endeavors. Remember to always put your best foot forward and never give up on your dreams. Best wishes to you! ~ W. Turrentine
Earlier this school year, Josh underwent surgery that required him to miss a significant amount of school. During his recovery, despite being out of school and away from instruction, Josh impressed me so much with his ability to maintain his school work and with his smooth transition back into the classroom. Despite the hardships that come with surgery and school absences, Josh has managed to have his best academic year since being a Warren New Tech High School student. - Tanner
Congratulations Joshua! We wish you all the best in your future. Dream big and reach for the stars! #WNTHSCLASSOF2020
Today, Warren New Tech would like to recognize Jose R. Labra as our senior of the day. Jose is one of the quietest student I have ever met and he has been since his elementary days at South Warren Elementary. Jose has the sweetest, most sincere smiles you will ever see. He is a very mannerable student who is extremely diligent and such a hard worker. Jose` plans to study Criminal Justice at Vance Granville Community College in the fall.
Jose is extremely smart and works hard in the classroom. What sticks out to me the most about Jose is his positive attitude. He is always so mannerable and respectful. Best wishes in his future endeavors. ~ W. Turrentine
Jose is so much smarter than what may be seen to the naked eye. He has always been one of the quieter students (just like I was) but does not hold back when it comes to showing his intelligence. Jose is brilliant and can pay attention when the entire room is distracted. He could remember a small thought said as students are leaving the classroom. His mind is capable of much more than he has been held accountable for. He can do great things that even he isn't aware of - Wisler
Congratulations, Jose! We wish you the best in your future and know you will do well. #WNTHSCLASSOF2020
Today, Warren New Tech would like to recognize Alaina Pulley as our senior of the day. Alaina is a student who is wise way beyond her years. She is the mother hen of her senior group taking care of everyone and cheering her friends on when they want to give up. Alaina has been a senior ambassador since her freshman year and is the most reliable teenager I have ever had the privilege to work with. Alaina was triple enrolled in WNTHS, NCSSM, and VGCC. She will be graduating high school with 25 college credits. Alaina will be heading to NC State in the fall where she will be studying criminology. Congratulations Alaina!
I remember Alaina first coming into my room before officially being my student as I was decorating my room for the first day of school. She offered to help decorate, and I took up her offer. I was planning on working on a mural made out of paper for my wall, and so I told her she could cut out about 10 free-hand, four-pointed stars for me to incorporate. Thinking this was an easy request, I walked away and continued to ready my classroom. After a few minutes, I went back and saw her using a ruler to make measurements, worrying about each cut before making the cut, and being a bit more detail-oriented than I expected. It was my first clue as to how thorough she was and how much she would keep me on my toes when I finally had her as my student. And keep me on my toes she did. She always rose to any occassion I set up and defied my expectations. Now graduating and going to North Carolina State University, I think it's suitable that my first memory of her is of cutting out a star, because that's what she truly is, and I'm sure she'll continue to shine. - Farrell
Alaina's attention to detail and obsession with perfection are qualities I hold eternal. As a student her classwork was just as artisically choregraphed as her performance as a dancer. I would welcome her help to change my bulletin board each year but quickly regretted accepting her help when I had to re-do a half inch border that was "crooked" She was meticulous and seamlessly managed her co-curricular tasks, college courses and regular classes. I remember when she walked into my room last year and declared that I could not have her sister in my family unless I adopted her as well. Who would have thought that she knew " Three little birds" I'm still awed that she sang Bob Marley's melody effortlessly. In the meantime I hum the song she taught me "No shirt, no shoes, no problem... The world awaits all the dynamic moves you have left Princess. -Lee
Alaina is currently taking one of the most rigorous course loads amongst her peers, with two courses through the North Carolina School of Science and Math online program and with a face-to-face course at our local Community College. Alaina has also become a leader at the dance studio where she participates in competition dance by volunteering as a teacher’s assistant and by teaching classes to preschool dancers. - Tanner
Congratulations Alaina! The world is at your fingertips so go out and make your mark on it. We will miss your ambition and drive but know we will be reading about you and your successes in the near future. #WNTHSCLASSOF2020
It's pretty sweet being a Warren New Tech Senior. Class of 2020!
Today, Warren New Tech would like to recognize Elijah Perry. Elijah is the type of student who can make anyone laugh. He has the ability to put a smile on one's face when they are having a bad day or lighten the mood when there is too much tension in the air. Elijah has so much potential and has the ability to do anything he sets his mind to. He is very honest so if you do not want to know the answer to a question you better not ask Elijah.
During the summer of 2018 I remember working at my summer job and seeing a person's name tag said Perry. I worked with this person and found out after a couple weeks it was Elijah's father. He said some great things about his son. One thing that stuck out to me was the maturity of Elijah to talk to his dad honestly and openly about the things a man encounters in his life. I believe this will take him a long way. ~Evans
Elijah is a smart and talented young man. He is always willing to offer assistance to a fellow classmate, oftentimes speaking up on their behalf. This is a good leadership quality that, once nurtured, will help him to be an effective voice for the voiceless. I believe Elijah will become a positive, influential and successful leader. - Waugh-Lewis
Congratulations Elijah! We will miss your smile and humorous personality. We wish you all the luck in your future and whatever this world has in store for you. #WNTHSCLASSOF2020
Calling all seniors...
Seniors, please come back by the school tomorrow even if you came today because you have 2 more surprises waiting for you that were just delivered...
Today, Warren New Tech would like to recognize Kassidie Newell as our senior of the day. Kassidie is an all around great student with a heart of gold. She has the tendency to keep to herself unless she is interacting with adults or close friends. When Kassidie sees someone in need, classmate, teacher or even administration she always offers her help and is even willing to stay after school to get a job done. Beginning second semester Kassidie was living off of coffee and very little sleep in order to stay on top of her college classes and all that determination paid off. Kassidie plans on attending nursing school at Vance Granville Community College.
Much to the dismay of the other “parents”, I had the fortune of drawing Kassidie’s name for Families this year. I was so proud of her competitive nature and creativity when it came to decorating our door for the Christmas Door Decorating contest. Kassidie’s enthusiasm and commitment to going above and beyond (literally), was so impressive! Not only was our door decorated, but we had an entire Gingerbread House to display! Thanks to Kassidie’s innovation and leadership, Tanner’s Thunder Trolls took victory in the 2019 Christmas Door Decorating Contest! - Tanner
I have had the pleasure of watching Kassidie grow since she was a freshman at New Tech, and I cannot think of someone who has changed so much since they first walked through those doors. She is an extremely reliable friend and has shown her heart of gold over the years with helping teachers and her peers whenever she can. I will miss having her in my room for lunch everyday, having great conversations with her about her future and her life, and continuing to watch her grow. The people she'll care for in the future are in great hands, and I'm sure they'll feel her impact long after. - Farrell
Congratulations, Kassidie! We will miss your helping hands at New Tech but know the people you will be taking care of in the future could not ask for a better, more reliable person. #WNTHSCLASSOF2020
Don’t forget to turn in your Chromebooks, chargers, college textbooks, and work packets tomorrow and Friday between the hours of 9:00-4:00. Also, seniors tomorrow is your big day! Come by and pickup your graduation attire and senior week surprises! We can’t wait to see you all, we have missed you so much!
Today, Warren New Tech would like to recognize Roshene Mills as our senior of the day. Rocky is a student you can not help but notice when he walks down the hall yet he is modest and will simply smile when you offer him a compliment . He is an all around great kid who truly cares about his fellow classmates and teammates. Rocky has grown into a responsible young man who has the ability and determination to do anything he puts his mind to.
I had the pleasure of being one of Rocky's Senior advisors this year. Rocky was always willing to do what I asked him to do in order to be in compliance although at times he would get frustrated he would pull through. He has such a loving personality which I always admire. He always seemed to be so calm and pleasant. I will miss seeing him in school and the hugs he would have to offer! Keep going Rocky. - A. Pommells
Though I have only known Rocky for one year, I have a lot of admiration for the guy. He's very respectful and nice to everyone. I've never heard him say anything negative, rude or judgemental. He's very open minded and gets along with everyone. He has an admirable personality. I just know he's going to have a great life of building strong bonds and relationships with other people. -Wisler
Roshene has demonstrated admirable growth and maturity. He has progressed from the shy unassuming 2016 freshman into a senior with drive and determination. He is well mannered, dependable and respectful. He has an unwavering commitment to sports that he finds difficult to resist even when injured. His charming smile illuminated my days! "Go rock the world Rocky!!"- Lee
Rocky, is a generous, creative young man with a big heart. During the time that I have been at New Tech he has demonstrated the he is a "man of his word" . Be Proud of that... A man's word is his bond." Ms. Grantham
Congratulations Rocky! Your smile and kind heart will be missed but we wish you all the luck in the world. We know with your determination you will do great things! #WNTHSCLASSOF2020
Today, Warren New Tech would like to recognize Victor Mata Jr. as our senior for the day. Victor is a quiet, gentle giant and has been since his elementary days at South Warren Elementary School. Victor has a sweet spirit but always has a serious look on his face. Victor has always applied himself in his academic studies and his determination and work ethic is what led to his acceptance to Barton College.
Victor has been a joy to have as a student. He is hardworking, dedicated, and always goes above and beyond in the classroom. He's self motivated and shows team effort in being willing to help his peers. I'm excited to see the great things Victor will accomplish in the future. ~W. Turrentine
I am amazed at how much growth I have observed in this young man in three years. Victor is extremely creative, artistic and devoted. He has a strong sense of self and is a fierce advocate for his peers. I will miss watching him make trees for Christmas doors or adding his competitive spirit to group tasks. -Lee
In addition to his resilience and hard-working personality, Victor has many other character traits that make him special to our school community. Victor is always willing to lend a hand to help others and has a smile on his face when he performs various tasks. Taking dual-enrollment courses gives students more freedom with their school schedules and in the rare chance that Victor does have down-time, he can usually be found somewhere around the school making art for teachers doors and classrooms. Victor has even found a way to turn his passion for art into a way to give back to his school community. - Tanner
Congratulations Victor! You made an impact on the students and staff during your time at Warren New Tech now it is time for you to make an impact on the world! #WNTHSCLASSOF2020

Today, Warren New Tech would like to recognize Lucas Lynch as our senior of the day. Lucas is one of the most mannerable young men I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. At first, I thought Lucas was very shy until I got to know him and realized Lucas does not say much but when he does speak you better listen because he has something profound to say. Lucas is an outstanding student who applies himself daily in every class.
Lucas has perhaps had the most compelling arc of any of the graduates at New Tech this year. He has grown into a very respectful young man who takes accountability of his actions, balances school and work, and uses his voice for his Native American community. I'm sure he will represent New Tech proudly as a Brave at UNCP.
I am most proud of Lucas’ accomplishments representing the American Indian culture at his school, in his community and within the state of North Carolina. He is passionate about youth engagement in important decisions and encouraging youth to make a difference within their own communities. Lucas is currently serving as the Treasurer on the Red Earth Youth Council and is the Historian on the North Carolina Native American Youth Organization. His duties allow him the opportunity to meet with leadership and youth of tribes across North Carolina as often as every other weekend. For his Senior Project, Lucas hand-beaded a bandolier bag that he plans to give to his younger brother to wear with his regalia. - Tanner
Congratulations Lucas! We wish you luck and know you will accomplish greatness with your determination and work ethic. #WNTHSCLASSOF2020
Today, Warren New Tech would like to recognize Jabrell Lee as our senior for the day. Jabrell is a mannerable young man who's smile will brighten anyone's day. He is a hard worker both with his school work as well as job outside of school. Jabrell is a natural leader and is willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. Jabrell always steps up and willingly serves on any committee or leads any activities asked of him. Jabrell plans on attending NC A&T in the fall.
Jabrell is funny and always has a positive attitude. He is hardworking and very smart. He always speaks his mind and expresses concerns in the most mannerable way. Best wishes in the future. ~ W. Turrentine
Jabrell may be one of the lowkey funniest kids to grace the hall of New Tech. He is extremely playful and has a great attitude that can lighten any situation, but knows when to get serious. He has learned to embrace his natural intelligence and demonstrated ownership of his ability to be an effective leader, and I know he will be a role model (and provide some comedic relief) at NC A&T. - Farrell
Congratulations Jabrell! We wish you all the best and know you will do great things in your future. #WNTHSCLASSOF2020
Today, Warren New Tech would like to recognize Clinton Harrison Jr. as our senior of the day. Every morning Clinton walks into school and says "Good morning" no matter what kind of day he is having. Clinton is a rule follower 100% of the time and will not deviate from what is right no matter what his peers may say. Clinton amazes me when he presents because of his attention to detail and his ability to thoroughly explain his topic. Clinton has no problem voicing his opinion but he also has the ability to back his opinions up with facts that lead him to his conclusion. Clinton is the perfect example of a New Tech Knight because he demonstrates trust, respect, and responsibility daily.
I admire Clinton's determination and his enthusiasm for learning. He takes his coursework seriously, he works well with his teachers and he overcomes adversities. Even when Clinton is challenged or faced with obstacles, he perseveres and overcomes. Although Clinton is quiet, he is not to be underestimated. Clinton has already demonstrated that he has the abilities, determination and grit to do amazing things! - Tanner
Clinton has always astounded me. He is one of the most honest individuals I've encountered, and his compliments have a profound, gratifying effect on an individual due to just how honest he is. Even though he is relatively quiet, he makes sure his voice is heard whenever he notices anything unfair or unjust. Not only that, but his level of intellect and ability to think abstractly often stuns his audience and leaves them in quiet awe. I know that everyone he works with in the future will also be in awe of his brilliance, and I hope he continues to share these gifts with the world. - Farrell
Congratulations Clinton! We wish you the best and can not wait to see the mark you make on this world! #WNTHSCLASSOF2020
Today for extended Teacher Appreciation Week, Warren New Tech would like to recognize our Social Workers, Mrs. Andrews and Mrs. Williams! Mrs. Andrews typically works with the high schools where Mrs. Williams normally works with the elementary schools but the two of them are such a wonderful team that they go wherever they are needed no matter where they are assigned. Neither are housed at Warren New Tech but they are only a phone call away if needed. Mrs. Andrews and Mrs. Williams conduct trainings for the staff across the district and are always coming up with ideas to help support teachers, students and parents. We are very fortunate to have such caring social workers who are active members of the community we serve. Thank you ladies for everything you do!
Today, Warren New Tech would like to recognize Kayson Hargrove as our Senior of the day. Kayson is a meek, mannerable young man who has a heart of gold, especially when it comes to his friends. He is they type of student every teacher wants on their roster because he puts forth effort in all of his classes and is actively engaged. Kayson plans to attend Wake Tech Community College in the fall where I know he will flourish.
When Kayson first came to Warren New Tech, he was demure in nature and was not looking to be the center of attention. However, when it came to projects in the classroom, he would always use his niche knowledge of pop culture to make them engaging, and that's when his voice started to become firm and passionate. He has truly grown into a confident, vocal leader as a student ambassador (with an unparalleled level of sass and ability to eye-roll that I will thoroughly miss), and I know he will leave an impression on all those he meets at Wake Tech in the fall. - Farrell
Kayson has many friends that he cares deeply about. He actively participates in school events and works great in groups, a trait that is important in a project-based learning environment. In all of our interactions, he has been respectful and attentive. Kayson has demonstrated his maturity and responsibility by managing a full student course-load which includes a dual-enrollment college course while also managing to work part-time outside of school. - Tanner
Congratulations Kayson! We wish you the best and know your future will be bright because you have the drive to make sure all of your dreams come true! #WNTHSCLASSOF2020
Congratulations! Class of 2020
