Student Spotlight: Charles Holbrooks, Stuart W. Cramer High
Charles Holbrooks will graduate from Stuart W. Cramer High School on Friday, May 28. The varsity track and football athlete will leave high school as a member of the National Technical Honors Society and Beta Club with sights set on serving his country.
Who has been your greatest influence and why?
HOLBROOKS: My dad. He was the one who always told me to be different from the rest and to rise to my potential.
Name something unique that you accomplished or in which you participated during high school.
HOLBROOKS: I was selected to play football in the Blue-Grey All American Bowl in Arlington, Texas, where we played in the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium.
Cramerton leaders are raising money to renovate and preserve a nearly century-old school house on Baltimore Drive.
When Fred Glenn heard there were plans to use the old Baltimore School - his former community center, and where his mother and aunt attended school - in a controlled burn nearly two decades ago, he purchased the school house with hopes of preserving it forever.
Now, Wendy Cauthen and her husband, Cramerton Mayor Will Cauthen, are raising money to help foot the cost of renovating Baltimore School. More than $7,000 has been raised so far on an online campaign filed on GoFundMe.
Wendy began helping Glenn to facilitate the effort three years ago, as she watched more and more developers come to the area with hopes of buying up, and sometimes demolishing, historical properties.
Gaston County Star Students, Teachers announced
Sponsored by
The Gaston Gazette each year, the school district selects an exceptional student from each high school as the school’s Star Student.
Each student then named their respective Star Teacher, who had the greatest influence on the student during their Gaston County Schools education, and wrote an essay about how the teacher motivated and inspired them.
Each student honoree will receive a framed Star Student certificate and a Star Student lapel pin, and each teacher honoree receives an engraved Star Teacher trophy from
The Gazette.
The students and teachers are recognized during a ceremony and reception at The Schiele Museum in Gastonia, but the pandemic forced the cancellation of the in-person event in 2020 and 2021.
