EBHS History Club
 

East Bladen High School  has become the 16th school in the State of North Carolina to organize a National History Club.  The Eagles’ affiliation with the National History Club makes them one of 427 chapters in 43 states.  Additionally, over 12,000 students in the country are involved in a National History Club at their local
schools.

The National History Club offers many opportunities to its charters’ members, including a “History Student of the Year” award, Student Leadership awards, and a National History Scholars Society for the top students in each chapter.

The purpose of the National History Club is to promote an interest in history among students.

The local chapter sports 44 members and has chosen Harmony Hall and Patriots Hunts (a Wounded Warriors project) as its service projects.

Though East Bladen started its History Club in the spring of 2011, this is the first year it has been associated with a national organization.

The East Bladen History Club was founded to promote an interest in the reading, writing, discussion, and enjoyment of history among its members.  The Eagles’ club officers include Jamal Murchison, President; Mackenzie Baker, Vice-President; Breonna Johnson, Secretary; Henry Crenshaw, Treasurer; and Brendaly Vega, Historian. Mrs. Sunday Allen, Mrs. Traci Parks, and Mrs. Rebecca Ake are the East
Bladen History Club advisors.

Senator Ted Kennedy was quoted in the National History Club’s eNewsletter as saying, “The study of history can also inspire each of us to become more active citizens, and to care about the future of our country.”
