The school year is in full swing with students and staff at work inside and outside the classroom.

 

Recently, students planning the annual King of the Court volleyball event and fundraiser were recognized by Atrium Health – Cabarrus as a recipient of the Breast Care Champion of the Year award. And students and staff at Patriots STEM Elementary School along with the Hometown Heroes organization welcomed a student back to school with a spirited celebration.

 

Hickory Ridge High School dedicated the school’s solar panels, which were received through a grant from Duke Energy and NCGreenPower.  Hickory Ridge was one of seven high schools across the state to receive a free system worth approximately $40,000.
