Onslow County Schools hosted the 2023 BASES reception on Friday, October 6, and it was certainly a day of celebration!  

BASES – Businesses Assisting Schools in Educating Students – is a program designed to join businesses, community organizations and schools together as a cohesive network in the education of children. The idea of BASES was conceived in 1991 and has since recognized the strong relationships between OCS and the community through a three-level award program, which encourages businesses, volunteers, nonprofit agencies and civic organizations to increase donations, in-kind gifts and volunteer hours in support of our students.   

During the 2022-2023 school year, OCS BASES coordinators reported more than $385,000 in donations and 2,400 hours of volunteer service given across the district from hundreds of community partners. This year, OCS was proud to give awards to 143 businesses and organizations from Onslow County and beyond.   

Each year, OCS chooses one business or organization who has gone above and beyond in helping our schools to receive a special honor. The selected organization’s name is added to the “BASES Wall of Fame” in the front hallway of the OCS Central Services office. This year, we are proud to induct MENAC, Inc. into the BASES Wall of Fame.   

MENAC, Inc. is a mentoring organization committed to the mental growth, education expansion, and societal awareness of youth and young adults in underdeveloped neighborhoods and communities. As a 501(c)(3) Christian Veteran-founded and operated nonprofit, this organization works within our community for the creation of a safe and supportive environment which ensures that every child, teenager, and young adult they serve receives the personalized attention and guidance they need to thrive.  

This outstanding organization has been widely recognized for their work with the Onslow County Learning Center, but they have also been building relationships with Bell Fork Elementary, Dixon Middle, and Northside High. In the wake of last year’s tragic incident at Northside, the volunteers and mentors from MENAC have worked closely with the administration, staff and students at the school as we have all moved forward on the path of healing.  

Educating children is built on relationships. Every day, your school system works to create and cultivate positive relationships within the community. Schools work to build relationships with parents; in the classrooms, teachers develop relationships with their students; administrators work with their staff members; and district staff impact all levels of the educational system.   

Education also takes the business community and service organizations making a commitment to these relationships, and we are honored to take this opportunity to thank all those who make excellence in education possible in Onslow County!
