🐾🏆 A Special Thank You! 🏆🐾
We would like to extend a huge thank you to Jacob Carpenter for building a beautiful new trophy case for the North Caroline High School Athletic Department.
Inspired by his own experience as a freshman—when a hard-earned team trophy remained in the office instead of being displayed—Jacob took the initiative to create a space where our Bulldogs’ achievements can be properly recognized and celebrated.
This meaningful project was also completed as part of his journey to earning the rank of Eagle Scout with the Boy Scouts.
Thank you, Jacob, for your dedication, leadership, and commitment to honoring Bulldog pride. Your work will have a lasting impact on our school community! 💙🐾

✈️🔬 Physics in Action! 🔬✈️
Dr. Moyer’s physics students toured the Dover Air Mobility Museum at Dover Air Force Base on April 9, 2026. Students explored a variety of aircraft often used as real-world examples in class, bringing their learning to life!
They had the opportunity to sit in cockpits and even try their hand at landing a plane using the flight simulator—some more successfully than others! 😄
It was a great day of physics, history, and hands-on learning with some truly extraordinary aircraft. Way to go, Bulldogs! 🐾💙

Classroom Spotlight: Early Childhood Strategies 🐾💙
Students in early childhood are learning about math concepts in Pre-K and Kindergarten classrooms.
Today, students memorized number rhyme formations and used a variety of ECE materials to practice.
Students began with wikki stix, then Play-Doh snakes, shaving cream, chalk, and finally watercolor painting.
These materials are developmentally appropriate and engaging and provide many opportunities for students to learn about the formation of numbers from 0-10.

🐣🐾 Egg Hunt Fun at The Ridge! 🐾🐣
Students from Mrs. Marshall’s, Mrs. Baker’s, and Mr. Hollis’ classrooms participated in our annual egg hunt!
A huge thank you to our Teacher Academy and Early Childhood students for donating their time and resources to make this event so special. And thank you to Mrs. McCormick for capturing all the fun moments! 📸
What a great day for our Bulldogs! 💙
Students in Mrs. Bornhoeft's Environmental Science class and Mrs. Bradner's AP Spanish class participated in "Diamonds in The Bay", an interactive presentation on the Chesapeake Bay and Diamondback Terrapins.
Students learned about the various threats terrapins face, including habitat loss. Students learned how erosion effects Island habitats and explored the ways that the Port of Baltimore is solving this problem by examining the history of Poplar Island. Baby diamondback terrapin ambassadors, Gouda, Feta, Parmesan, Mozzarella, and Ricotta visited the classroom to support the TERP program.
North Caroline High School is raising their own terrapin, "Terry", under the direction of Ms. Mielke. Students take measurements of the terrapins and report the data back to the partners. Having hatchlings in classrooms allows students to have a hands-on learning experience and personal connection to the environment around them.

🇺🇸✨ A Moment 50 Years in the Making ✨🇺🇸
Today, the NCHS SGA officers and advisor Ms. Sullivan had the incredible honor of attending a time capsule opening at the Caroline County Courthouse—originally buried in 1976 by the NCHS and Colonel Richardson SGA in celebration of our nation’s bicentennial.
Exactly 50 years later, that capsule was opened, bringing history full circle. It was especially meaningful to share this moment with members of the Class of ’76 and the principals who led both high schools during that time—true Bulldogs and Colonels who helped preserve this piece of history.
Now, the tradition continues. 🇺🇸 NCHS SGA has been entrusted with creating a new time capsule to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States of America. We are honored to carry this legacy forward and can’t wait to begin planning alongside Colonel Richardson and the Caroline County Board of Education.
Here’s to honoring the past, celebrating the present, and preserving memories for the future. 💙🐾

Both students were recognized for their remarkable talent and skill, and this recognition is so well deserved.
Your hard work and creativity make NCHS incredibly proud!
We came to play, and we made our Bulldog presence known.
