Ms. Weippert's duck had a booming Fourth of July! 🦆🇺🇸
This patriotic duck brushed up on history with a Civil War cannon demonstration in East New Market while even sneaking in a little chemistry lesson about kinetics.
It sounds like this duck had such a quack-tastic time that he'll be back in action at the Battle of Funkstown reenactment in just a couple of weeks. Stay tuned for more NCHS Ducking Out adventures! 💙🦆

Looks like London was calling for Ms. Sullivan and her new fine-feathered friend! 🦆🇬🇧
We're still trying to figure out one important question... did the duck fly across the Atlantic or simply swim "across the pond?" 🤔
From iconic sights to unforgettable memories, it looks like this pair had a quacking good time exploring London together.

Our favorite history teacher, Mr. Buffy, sure ducked out of school and into summer fast! 🦆☀️
We can’t help but wonder what his favorite little pup thought about the newest “girl” in his life… his duck!
Buffy brought his new feathered friend along for a camping trip to Trap Pond State Park, making it a true quack-cation in the great outdoors.
We hope Buffy, the pup, and their duck are enjoying every moment and making memories that are simply duck-sirable.

Our teachers ducked right out of school and straight into summer! Mr. Blakely wasted no time bringing his duck along for a wash at the NCHS Volleyball Car Wash this weekend.
We're loving seeing everyone looking so squeaky clean and summer-ready! We hope all of our Bulldogs are diving into summer as enthusiastically as Mr. Blakely.

💙🐾 Today marks the end of a true Bulldog era. 🐾💙
Today, we celebrate the retirements of Mr. Colin Joseph and Mr. Gary Bee. With more than 60 years of combined service, they have been pillars of the NCHS Social Studies Department—more affectionately known as the West Wing.
Alongside many other NCHS legends, they helped shape the traditions, culture, and sense of community that make the Ridge what it is today. Their impact reaches far beyond the classroom walls. Through countless lessons, conversations, and moments of guidance, they helped shape generations of Bulldogs.
While neither has a concrete plan for what comes next, we want them both to know this: no matter where the road leads, all roads lead back home. And their home will always be North Caroline High School.
As one final tug at the heartstrings, we captured a last photo of Mr. Joseph, Mr. Ward, and Mr. McCormick walking out of NCHS together—a moment that symbolizes the closing of a remarkable chapter in the story of the Ridge.
Mr. Bee and Mr. Joseph, thank you for your dedication, your wisdom, your humor, and your unwavering commitment to our students and school community. The halls of NCHS will not be quite the same without you, but your legacy will continue to walk them every day.
You will be greatly missed. 💙🐾

Last summer, our staff said, "See you later, Edugator!" as they headed off on their summer adventures. But those edugators never wandered too far—we loved following along as they traveled, explored, and made memories all summer long!
This year, we're ducking out for the summer and taking a little rubber ducky along for the ride. 🦆 Stay tuned for all of the quack-tastic fun, feathered friends, and duck-lightful destinations our staff discovers along the way!
Until then, we're signing off for the summer. So long for now... we'll be back before you can say "quack!"
