The tennis program is a varsity sport for student-athletes regardless of playing experience. Under the supervision of Julie Register, our women’s tennis program has been thriving for years. Coach Register offers our girls an opportunity to learn and grow as women, as Christians, and as athletes.  Her roster is more than full each year, but she supports them all. This year, the men’s team has made a comeback at East Duplin after several years of not being able to form a team.  Coach Register has managed to fill her roster with 14 young men, many of whom have never played tennis before but felt supported and encouraged to give it a try.  Coach Register and our tennis program is touching the lives of many of our students. With a record 23-player roster, this year’s Women’s Tennis Team claimed their third consecutive Conference Championship. Both teams utilize Fellowship of Christian Athletes Team Huddles with players serving as Huddle leaders.

At East Duplin High School, I have been given many opportunities that have helped me to prepare for my future. I have been given the chance to gain hands-on experiences in the classroom by shadowing teachers and delivering lessons. Our Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) has given me and many others the opportunity to grow and thrive. As president of FCA, I have learned many leadership skills that will strengthen my future career in education. Students and staff alike embrace connectivity and engagement that our clubs offer. East Duplin is a large piece of our small community where students are encouraged to explore our futures and connect with one another.

The culture at East Duplin supports learning by fostering a sense of community. Our students feel valued and respected and our classroom environments are encouraging. From the Career and Technical Education standpoint, students are given the opportunity to obtain certifications in CPR, First Aid and Stop the Bleed. This hands-on training empowers them with life-saving skills, while instilling confidence and a readiness to act in emergency situations, potentially saving lives. It also promotes a culture of preparedness and responsibility for one another's well-being. In the classroom, we provide students with opportunities for learning, critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and personal growth. These opportunities include: Hands-On activities, group discussion, problem solving, and Project Based Learning.
