ABSS Statement Regarding Teacher Arrest: There is no greater priority than the health, safety, and welfare of our children. To that end, the Alamance-Burlington School System is cooperating fully with the Alamance County Sheriff's Office as part of an ongoing investigation involving alleged misconduct by a Southern Middle School teacher. We are committed to the success of all our students and expect all staff members to uphold that commitment each and every day. The employee in question is on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation by both law enforcement and District administration. We are unable to provide further comment, as this is a personnel issue.

The EAHS Symphonic Band was chosen as one of eight bands from North Carolina to perform at the UNC School of the Arts Invitational Music Festival in Winston-Salem. 🎶 The Eagles performed works by Ralph Vaughan Williams, Michael Markowski, and Johann Strauss on the stage at the prestigious Stevens Center, participated in masterclasses led by UNCSA Faculty, and rehearsed with the panel of adjudicators as an ensemble. Our students learned so much during this event and performed so well. Great job to all our musicians! Thank you, Band Director, Ben Crotts, for mentoring and supporting these amazing students! 🦅 #StudentCenteredFutureFocused
