Hey y’all 👋🏽 it’s me, Toni Phillips. North Pitt High School’s college adviser. This is my first year serving as a CAC member. I have always been someone who wanted to find different ways to serve my community. As a college adviser, not only am I helping underrepresented students with their college going process but I am a leader, a resource of knowledge for many families AND a pillar of the community. On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, i joined ECU, my alma mater, for their Packs4Patriots day of service. I was able to make cards and letters for active duty deployed troops🫶🏽🇺🇸. Some people don’t realize how much our soldiers need those words of encouragement! I also threw in some corny jokes that will hopefully brighten up someone’s day 🤣#MLKdayofservice #Wolfcac
We are hiring!

All across North Carolina, advisers are hard at work “gently reminding” students to submit their FAFSA. It wouldn’t be an adviser takeover without mentioning the adviser’s favorite phrase: Did YOU submit your FAFSA?

Career fairs, college fairs, and trips - oh my!
East Bladen’s students are hard at work getting ready for their future, so here are a few pictures to commemorate some of our college and career-related events past! I also just want to say how absolutely BLOWN AWAY I have been with the support of school staff and community members - Bladen County definitely deserves a pat on the back for all these wonderful people do for our students!
Takeover time! (Swipe for a surprise)
My name is Katie Larrimore and I'm serving my second year as the college adviser at East Bladen High School. There are SO many things I'd like to highlight about the past two years at EBHS, but Spirit Week is without question some of the most fun I've had here . Both students and staff participate and it makes for great pictures. Plus, who WOULDN'T want to go to work in a chicken suit?
Surprise caption: I don't work from home often but when I do it's always nice to have an assistant adviser on deck to help out (and fall asleep on my laptop)
