George Kearns, a senior at UCA, was asked at the beginning of this fall semester to pilot our new Drone 1 course.  He has worked tirelessly to prepare for the Part 107 FAA drone licensing test.  Yesterday he sat for his exam at the Piedmont Triad testing facility and passed with flying colors scoring 90%!  We at UCA high school are proud of George and thank him for piloting this class and providing much-needed feedback to the instructor.  Congratulations George!  We are proud of you.  The Drone 1 class will welcome its first official group of students this spring.  With so much interest the class is currently full. At UCA high school, our Eagles earn their wings!

Lillie Justice, Karsyn Brower, Madelyn Fesmire, and Makayla Robbins competed in the North Carolina Ready Set App competition this year. They created a prototype app to help students that struggle financially to receive donations to go on field trips and get school supplies. Over this past week, the judges from the contest determined that out of over 100+ teams throughout the state of North Carolina that Uwharrie Charter Academy's High school Team Eagles placed 3rd! The girls will receive a technology prize from this contest. Congratulations Eagles! We are proud of you.
