WCMS principal, Truett Abbott began the program by introducing the middle school teacher of the quarter, Ms. Tan Burnett. Mrs. Burnett's students scored higher than any other WCMS class on their standardized tests. She also goes the extra mile by assisting with many activities outside the classroom. Ms. Brunett's contributions make her a valuable part of Warren County Schools, both in and out of the classroom.
Warren County High students, Curtis Williams and Shandria Walker took the stage next to introduce the WCHS teacher of the quarter. Mr. Watson, a first year math teacher was chosen for his dedication to his students. Mr. Watson makes himself available to tutor any student who needs extra help after school. Mr. Watson also can be seen volunteering at football games and other after school activities.
Sharane Johnson and Eugene Andrews stepped forward next to present Assisstant Principal Barnes an award for going "above and beyond" the call of duty at both Warren County High and Warren County Middle. Mrs. Barnes performed the job of two people much of last year while the high school was in search of a new principal. Mrs. Barnes also served as the cheerleading advisor until someone could be found to fill that role this year. As the principal in charge of curriculum for both schools, Mrs. Barnes works every day to improve the learning opportunities for Warren County students.
Athletic director, Richard Arrington came forward next with several honors to present to Warren County students. Arrington's first award went to a WCMS student who displayed honesty and character beyond his years. Quentavious Johnson discovered that someone had lost a wallet while cleaning up in the gym after a recent basketball game. Johnson discovered the wallet contained $500 in cash after opening it to find out who it belonged to and immediately turned the wallet and it's contents over to Coach Arrington so that it's owner could be found. The owner of the wallet rewarded Johnson for his honesty. We are proud of Quintavious for displaying the character that makes Warren County Schools the fine place that it is.
Coach Arrington then recognized two accomplishments of students on the athletic field. The boy's cross country team was recognized for competing in the state tournament. Those who made the trip to compete were: Jacquon Jackson, Daniel Crawford, Stanley Johnson, Ticaro Heath, and Jacquez Moss. The team was led by Coach Brian Wallace.
Coach Arrington then brought down the house when he called the football team and coaches to the stage to present them with the first region championship trophey for Warren County High School since 1981. Coach Hutto proudly accepted the trophy on behalf of the entire team and coaching staff. Hutto reminded the audience that the season is not over and challenged everyone, students and faculty alike, to come out and support the Screaming Devils in their game this week against the Bulldogs of E.C.I. as they continue to strive towards a state championship trophy
