Swansboro High School

Happy Sunday Pirates,

It was an exciting week at Swansboro High School, filled with playoff victories, state competitions, the National English Honor Society induction, an early-release professional development day for teachers and staff, field trips, and the Project Graduation craft fair.

Congratulations to Ms. Chrissy Taylor who was recognized on Thursday night at the Educator of Excellence Award ceremony at the state teacher conference. Congratulations also to Emma Sanders who was selected to introduce Governor Stein and Mr. Justice at the state Educator Appreciation ceremony.

In athletics, our cross-country team competed at the state championship on Saturday. The boys’ team placed seventh overall and the girls’ team placed 11th overall. Jasiah Mason placed fifth overall and is only the second runner from Swansboro to ever place in the top ten. Congratulations also to men’s soccer, who defeated Westover and Gray’s Creek in the first two rounds of the playoffs, and to varsity football, who defeated White Oak in the first round.

This week in athletics will include soccer traveling to JH Rose in the third round of playoffs on Monday night and football traveling to Scotland on Friday night for the second round of playoffs. Winter sports kick off this week with swimming at New Bern on Wednesday, a boys’ basketball scrimmage on Thursday and the Terry Sanford Jamboree on Saturday. Girls’ wrestling will compete

at the West Carteret Beach Brawl on Saturday.

Swansboro High School will be closed on Wednesday in observance of the Veterans Day holiday.

Saturday is also the Century Club Speckled Trout Tournament and the Clam Chowder Cook-off at Casper’s Marina. Come out and support these efforts, which directly benefit athletics at both Swansboro Middle and Swansboro High School.
