BASES - 2024

On Friday, October 4, Onslow County Schools hosted the 2024 BASES reception, and it was a wonderful celebration of community!  

BASES – Businesses Assisting Schools in Educating Students – is a program designed to join businesses, community organizations and the 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 2023-2024 school year, OCS BASES coordinators reported $437,295 in donations and 6,595 hours of volunteer service given across the district from hundreds of our community partners. This year, OCS was proud to give awards to 169 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 East Carolina Mechanical into the BASES Wall of Fame.   

We are thrilled to recognize and congratulate East Carolina Mechanical for their outstanding contributions during the 2023-2024 school year. Their generous support, totaling nearly $5,000, included monetary donations, and provided essential items such as food, toiletries, and shoes for our students. 

Additionally, East Carolina Mechanical’s dedication to our community is evident through their donation of over 130 hours of volunteer time. They have made a significant impact by volunteering with the Jacksonville High construction class, engaging with students at the Skills Center about career opportunities, and hosting a student intern from Richlands High School. 

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!
