Pamlico County NJROTC Catdets Visit Washington, DC
Pamlico County High School NJROTC Cadets used their spring break time away from school to visit The US Naval Academy, Washington, DC and the US Marine Corps Museum. On a five day whirlwind tour, the cadets of PCHS spent one day at the US Naval Academy touring the campus, learning about the history of the Academy and the daily lives of its Cadets. On the third day they were given a tour of the Capitol Building and went to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. Day four continued at the Smithsonian Museum of American History where the PCHS Cadets saw how the United States as we know it today came to be. The final day of the trip was capped off by a visit to the US Marine Corps Museum where the cadets were able to interactively learn the history of the Marine Corps and what it took to shape the Corps into the finest fighting force in the world today. The PCHS NJROTC Cadets learned a great deal during their trip but most importantly really enjoyed themselves while doing it.
Trey Hucks Receives Invitation to Attend the
U.S. Naval Academy Summer Seminar Program
The U.S. Navy Academy recently invited a select group (only 2,250) of rising seniors from across the United States to attend the prestigious Summer Seminar Program, a fast-paced leadership experience to further educate, motivate and prepare students for admission to the USNA.. Albert W. Hucks III (Trey) will represent Pamlico County High School.
Trey will attend a six-day session at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. He will attend eight 90 minute workshops, covering subjects from information technology, naval architecture and mechanical engineering, to oceanography, mathematics, history, and meteorology. He will also participate in seamanship and navigation classes aboard a Navy Yard Patrol Craft.
Founded in 1845, the U. S. Naval Academy is a prestigious four-year college that prepares midshipmen morally, mentally, and physically to be professional offers in the naval service. More than 4,400 men and women representing every state and several foreign countries make up the student body, know as the Brigade of Midshipmen. All Midshipmen are on full scholarship and have a choice of 23 different majors. Additionally they study small arms, drill, seamanship and navigation, tactics, naval engineering and weapons, leadership, ethics and military law as part of their education. Upon graduation, midshipmen earn a Bachelor of Science degree and go on to serve at least five years of exciting and rewarding service as commissioned offers in the U.S. Navy or U.S. Marine Corps.

Screencasting Brings Another Light to Assessments at PCHS
Mr. Joshua Gaskill’s Honors US History class just finished reading the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass,
an informational, non-fiction text. His class created video
commentaries, using screencasting, in order to analyze the major
literary themes and historical events of the text. Screencasting allows
students to digitally record their voices that go along with a
presentation, like Microsoft PowerPoint. Mr. Gaskill states, “I’m always
impressed with what my students can create.
Through the use of
screencasting, ordinary historical analysis papers were brought to
life.”
To see some screencasting projects, please click on the link below.

Recipient of
Bright Ideas Grant
Congratulations to Joshua Gaskill, recipient of Tideland EMC's Bright Ideas Grant. Mr. Gaskill always wants to help his students sharpen their geography skills and get the "big picture" view of World History. Mr. Gaskill said the Bright Ideas Grant will purchase interactive, web-based maps that use GoogleEarth, allowing students to go beyond traditional maps and atlases. Thanks to Tideland EMC's generosity, the project was fully funded and will be used by all teachers and students within the social studies department. Mr. Rice attended the International Society for Technology in Education
(ISTE) conference in Philadelphia this past summer and learned about the wonderful interactive maps. Congratulations again Mr. Gaskill! Your PCHS family is proud of you.
