POST OF THE WEEK: 🎓🎓🎓 From Small Town to Big Dreams: Owen Senior Earns Prestigious Scholarship
Big things are happening for one Charles D. Owen High School senior.
Jordan Robertson is closing out her high school career on a high note after being named a recipient of the prestigious Morehead-Cain Scholarship, a full-ride opportunity to the University of North Carolina. This fall, she will head to Chapel Hill to pursue her passion for helping others as a nursing major.
The Morehead Scholarship is one of the most competitive and high regarded scholarships in the nation, recognizing students for their leadership, character, scholarship, and commitment to service - qualities Jordan has exemplified throughout her time at Owen High.

The math achievements are adding up for BCS intermediate and middle school students.
Teams from schools across the system started the semester at the BCS MathCOUNTS competition, a fast-paced event designed to challenge both individual problem-solving and team strategy.
“MATHCOUNTS is such a fantastic environment because it lets students experience the genuine joy of tackling complex challenges together," said Nathan Arvey, BCS Secondary Lead Math Coach. "It really gives them a unique opportunity to stretch their problem-solving abilities and mathematical intuition in a different way than they do in their classroom."
