Swansboro High School
Weekly Updates June 9, 2019
Good Afternoon Pirate Families,
It was a bittersweet week in the boro' as we watched our graduating seniors walk the halls of all of the Swansboro schools. We also celebrated Jamel Abalos, Parker Thompson and Dylan Murphy at the Onslow County Schools Board of Education meeting for their state accomplishments in music and track. Our guitar students dazzled us on Friday evening with solo performances and our jazz ensemble performed at the Swansboro Arts by the Sea festival on Saturday.
This week includes our last full day of school on Monday and final exams. No reason for test anxiety or worry because our teachers have done a great job preparing your students. There are a few important reminders for parents and students:
1. Be sure to get plenty of rest and eat a healthy breakfast!
2. Dress code still applies so leave the pajamas and blankets at home please.
3. Please be sure that students are on time and that laptops are fully charged.
4. Please remember that there will be no early check-outs. Students must remain until testing is complete.
5. Students should take laptop and report directly to the classroom they are testing in upon arrival each morning.
Parents of seniors should note our graduation activities to include our baccalaureate service on Sunday, June 16, 2019 at 7:00 pm, graduation practice on Monday, June 17 at 9:00 am and graduation at 7:00 pm. Tickets for graduation will be distributed at practice on Monday morning. Please note that graduation practice is mandatory for students participating in the ceremony. Project graduation will kick off at 10:00 pm in the cafeteria. A full meal will be served starting at 10:00 pm, the Spare Change concert will start at 10:30 pm. Pizza and raffle prizes will be held at 12:30 am and a live comedian from 1:00-2:00 am. We will then board buses and head to the Emerald Isle movie theater to see the new release of Men in Black. Project Graduation will conclude with a sunrise breakfast on the beach and students will return to the school for pick up at 6:00 am. Seniors are also reminded to complete the scholarship link for any scholarships they have received as they will be shared at graduation: https://www.onslow.k12.nc.us/Page/14112
In closing today we would like to share exciting news for the 2019/2020 year. Swansboro High School will offer an annual Student Athletic Pass which is a deal too good to pass up! Students can purchase an annual pass for $120.00 that gains them entry into ALL home games AND they receive a free hot dog and drink at each game if the sport has a concession stand. This is a savings of over $545.00.
We will also offer individual season passes at a rate of $50 (fall, winter or spring). 100% of proceeds from student passes will go towards updating facilities such as fields, an updated track, etc.
