We're proud to recognize three exceptional pottery students from Eastern Alamance High School who were recently honored in the prestigious Scholastic Art & Writing Awards!
🏆 Abby Weiss (Senior) - Silver Key for "Seasons Changing"
🐄 Aubrey Dial (Junior) - Honorable Mention for "Cream for your Tea?"
🎭 Emery Hill (Senior) - Honorable Mention for "Self Realization"
These students follow in impressive footsteps - Eastern's pottery program, led by Laura Daughtry, has produced several National Gold and Silver Medal winners over the past decade! In 2023, EAHS student Ainsley Dial (Aubrey's older sister) won a Gold Medal and was honored at Carnegie Hall in New York City alongside Ms. Daughtry.
Congratulations to these talented artists!
📚 Superintendent Dr. Fleming surprised Mrs. Carter's and Mrs. Singleton's first grade classes at Andrews for Read Across America Week! Our young readers were all smiles as they learned how small acts of kindness make a big difference! #ReadAcrossAmerica #ThisisABSS
ABSS is proud to acknowledge the incredible efforts of school social workers in all our schools! School Social Workers are the vital link between school and community in providing services to students, families, and school personnel to assist and augment students' academic and social success. Their valuable work includes mental health evaluations, helping children develop social-emotional skills, attendance monitoring, and crisis intervention.
Our school social workers assist teachers with classroom management and provide parents with resources to assist their child throughout their academic career. They work behind the scenes to eliminate barriers to academic success by assisting with attendance, homelessness, and mental health.
Thank you to all of our school social workers who assist in ensuring all students have the support they need to succeed academically and socially!
BREAKFAST ALERT! Our nutrition team has served an impressive 642,000 breakfast meals so far this school year! We think that's something to celebrate during National School Breakfast Week! The Mystery of Why Breakfast Matters - Solved! Brain Power: Studies show that students who eat breakfast perform better academically, with improved concentration, memory, and problem-solving abilities. Energy for the Day: A nutritious breakfast provides essential energy that helps students stay focused and engaged throughout the morning, preventing the mid-morning slump. Nutritional Foundation: Breakfast provides a significant portion of daily nutritional needs, including fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals that support overall health and development. Thank you to our amazing nutrition staff for their commitment to nourishing our students every single day. Clue in to school breakfast - it's no mystery why it matters!
Big congratulations to these exceptional ABSS musicians who showcased their skills at the 2025 Western Region Orchestra in Boone last weekend! Senior viola player Aslynn West from Walter M. Williams High School and junior trumpet player Christian Boudrealt from Western Alamance High School participated in the Honors Orchestra under Dr. Alexandra Dee's direction from Appalachian State University. Freshman bass player Michael-Andres Cruz from Williams not only performed in the Repertory Orchestra but earned 1st chair in his section! 🎵
The Repertory Orchestra was conducted by Williams' own Orchestra Director, Veronica Biscocho! North Carolina's orchestra program divides the state into eastern and western regions, each hosting special events featuring guest clinicians from across the country. So proud of our musical stars! 🌟
✨ Start strong, start here! Kindergarten registration is live! Instructions can be found on our website: https://bit.ly/absskindergarten. Also, don't forget about our Kindergarten Fair next Saturday, March 8th, 9 AM to 12 PM at Holly Hill Mall! #ABSSEvents #ThisisABSS

Celebrating Excellence in ABSS! Congratulations to our amazing students and staff recognized at last night's Board of Education meeting:
Southeast Alamance's Ava Garner and Jesus Cruz received Silver Keys in the 2025 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards! Ava's piece "Connected Creation" explores humanity's place in the universe, while Jesus's "Epsum" portrays people as shadowy figures, comparing them to bugs under an upturned rock.
Southern Alamance freshman Madisyn Upton made an incredible state championship debut, winning both the 200 IM (with a lifetime best of 2:08.38) and the 100 butterfly at the NCHSAA 3-A State Championship! She's now a two-time State Swimming Champion!
DeAnna Tyson, 7th Grade Math Teacher at Western Middle School, was honored as a North Carolina Beginning Teacher of the Year Finalist! She received a plaque from the NC Center for Advancement in Teaching and a $250 check from Empower. Good luck in the state competition, Ms. Tyson!
