GCHS NNDCC gears up for Leadership and Sail Academy!

As the summer approaches, NNDCC Cadets are starting to prepare for Leadership and Sail Academy, where they will learn about citizenship and leadership fundamentals as well as build relationships with fellow ROTC Cadets.

Sail Academy attendees will learn how to sail boats and recover them in the water.

Both Academies are very fun according to past attendees and the future cadets can not wait to attend the camps.

“It was very challenging and humbling, but also an amazing opportunity for our NNDCC Cadets.” quote by Erin Mathews, one of our first cadets from GCHS NNDCC to attend leadership academy.

In order to go, our cadets are required to pass a “Cadet Challenge” where they have to complete a certain amount of pushups and sit ups, as well as completing a mile run in a certain amount of time. Best of luck to this year’s attendees. Go Barons!

Lady Barons Basketball

A tough loss for the Lady Barons on Tuesday March 5, 2024. The Barons put up a tough fight throughout their whole season and made it to the 3rd round of the state playoffs but unfortunately lost to East Columbus. Even though they lost we are so proud of our Lady Barons. We can’t wait to see them again next season!

The first track meet was moved from Wednesday, March 6 to Thursday, March 7. The track team is very excited for the first track meet of the season. Many Freshman and new members are nervous but many upperclassmen have done a good job of keeping everyone’s nerves to a minimum.

Our first track meet is in Edenton at John A. Holmes high school. Good luck and go Barons!!
