Swansboro High School
Weekly Updates September 1, 2019
Happy Sunday Pirate Families,
What an amazing first week at Swansboro High School! We are very proud of our pirates who hit the ground running with hard work in the classrooms and on the athletic fields/courts! Students received their laptops and learned how to utilize the Refresh scheduling system in their Clever accounts. We also had 20 students who started the year with half day classes at the Regional Skills Center and 35 students who are taking Coastal Carolina Community College courses on our campus.
Congratulations to our varsity football team who brought home their second exciting victory of the year on Friday night at home against Croatan. The school and community support was incredible and we would love to see that grow in the coming weeks. Our marching band was on fire and wowed fans with their exciting halftime performance. Our student section, now known as the Pirate Pack rocked the stands and provided extra encouragement to ensure our Pirates had the momentum to bring home their 19-10 victory over the Cougars. Our ladies tennis team won their match against Lejeune on Friday and our soccer teams traveled to Boone to participate in the Mellow Mushroom tournament and placed 3rd overall.
Thank you to our students and staff for their flexibility with the construction happening on our campus. Progress is moving quickly and we are looking forward to having our building back at 100% soon. Our construction and masonry shops have new drywall in the ceilings, the breezeway was finished on Sunday afternoon and the auditorium should be painted in the next week. The new roof is in progress on the auditorium building also. While they are moving quickly, this work will continue for several more weeks with a guaranteed completion date of early November.
We know that everyone is closely watching the weather this week and we will continue to provide updates on athletic events and school closures if necessary. This week in athletics will include volleyball at home against East Carteret on Tuesday, tennis at Lejeune and soccer at home against Croatan on Wednesday. Thursday will include JV football at home against Richlands and varsity football at Richlands on Friday. Friday is also the kick off to the Battle at the Beach soccer tournament with games at 6 pm on Friday and noon on Saturday. Our cross country team will compete at the Knight's Invitational on Saturday.
We have plenty of class t-shirts available for both students and parents. Students who are new to Swansboro High School can stop by the office to receive their free class t-shirt. Parents can purchase shirts for $10 each. Parents of seniors should note that the first Project Graduation parent meeting is scheduled for Monday, September 16, 2019 at 6:00 pm in the media center.
