On May, 29th, our district celebrated high student achievement by
bringing together the highest achieving graduates from Nash Central High, NRM
Early College High, Northern Nash High, Rocky Mount High, and Southern Nash
High for Evening of Academic Excellence. The Rocky Mount High School Orchestra,
Rocky Mount High School Vocal Ensemble and Northern Nash High School High
School Band provided the entertainment.
After dinner, Mrs. Felicia Mayo, Senior Director of Authenticity and Inclusion Global University Talent Programs for Juniper Networks, delivered the keynote address. Mrs. Mayo encouraged and challenged the graduates, saying, "Your future begins now. Allow yourself room for change along your journey. It is how you fare during your challenges that build your character, rather than your successes."
Each high school principal announced the names of students and their most influential teacher. Students were presented with an award and certificate by Dr. Jackson and Board of Education Chairwoman, Evelyn Bulluck.
Nash-Rocky Mount Public Schools also thanked the evening's generous sponsors, including Cummins Rocky Mount Engine Plant, STEP: Strategic Twin Counties Educational Partnership, Dr. Anthony Jackson, Greater Joy Baptist Church, and the Rocky Mount Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta.
