Economics and Personal Finance students explored the impact of the local seafood industry on the NC economy and its relationship to the unit topic-international trade. Oystering is a multimillion-dollar industry in our state.
For the lab, students attempted to filter as effectively as possible, modeling the role of the oyster in the ecosystem.
An oyster rock delivers an estimated economic value between $5,500 and $99,000 per hectare per year in non-market ecosystem services alone, separate from commercial harvesting

Whitney Mayer joins our school as the new Instructional Technology Facilitator and Testing Coordinator. We are happy to welcome her to the ECHS family!
About Whitney:
I am thrilled to be the new Instructional Technology Facilitator at ECHS! I hold a B.S. in Child Development from Meredith College and a Birth-Kindergarten teaching license from East Carolina University. I’ve been teaching for 14 years, but I’m currently expanding my toolkit by completing my Master’s degree in Learning, Design, and Technology at UNCC, graduating this December!
I am incredibly excited to collaborate with the teachers and students and find innovative, meaningful, and engaging ways to implement technology into the classrooms.
Outside of school, I share my life with my husband and two very busy boys. You can usually find me curled up with a good book, out on the golf course, or cheering from the sidelines of a soccer field.

William Lewis is our Social Studies Student of the Week. William is a diligent student in Civics class who contributes greatly to class discussion and always has a positive attitude.
Our students and a group of 8th grade visitors spent time learning how to plant and care for flowers with the help of volunteers, Mr. and Mrs. Kappel. Students filled pots with soil and carefully moved flowers into new pots, so they have room to continue growing.
This hands-on activity gave students the opportunity to practice following directions and building fine motor skills while learning about plant care and responsibility.
