West Craven High students and staff, CCS Employees, Board Members, and parents came together last Wednesday afternoon to wish Mr. Tabari Wallace well wishes on his next endeavor during a surprise drive-thru parade. It was wonderful to see so many come out to congratulate him on his new position with the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. We will miss Mr. Wallace but we are so thankful that we will still have an opportunity to work with him in his new role. He will continue to do amazing work for students and school leaders across the state. #rideorfly
