New Bern High School Celebrates Women Leaders During Annual Women’s Day Meet & Greet

Students at New Bern High School had the inspiring opportunity to connect with women leaders from across the community during the school’s annual Women’s Day Meet & Greet, held in the media center on March 12, 2026. The event allowed students to explore a variety of career paths, ask questions, and hear firsthand from women making a meaningful impact in our community.

This year’s program aligns with National Women’s History Month 2026 and its theme, “Give to Gain,” which emphasizes how providing women with opportunities, resources, and mentorship fosters a cycle of success that benefits everyone.

Craven County Schools extends sincere thanks to the many organizations and leaders who engaged with students, including representatives from the New Bern Police Department, North Carolina State Highway Patrol, New Bern Fire Department, Craven Community College, North Carolina Department of Adult Correction, Craven County Health Department, and the New Bern Women’s Club.

Special recognition goes to community and school leaders who participated, including Jennifer Dacey (Board of Education), Marlena Shine (CCS), and Lexanne Huffman (Craven County Clerk of Courts). Their involvement helped make the event meaningful and motivational for students.

New Bern High School is grateful to all who contributed to this program, helping to inspire the next generation of leaders and celebrate the achievements and contributions of women in our community.
