This new school will help students earn industry certification and credentials in addition to their high school diplomas.

By graduation, each student will have a diploma, certificate or degree in his/her chosen field, industry credentials and financial literacy.

This year, the NC Travel & Tourism Coalition chose 4 Legislators to receive their inaugural “Tourism Champion” award in recognition of outstanding support for the tourism industry, which employs more than 200,000 people and generates over $3.2 billion in State and Local taxes.

During the 2015 Session, I worked very hard to obtain the increased funding for the film grant; to insure that the integrity of the room occupancy tax was kept intact; and to support other legislation that benefited the travel and tourism business in North Carolina. I was presented the award in Wrightsville Beach, NC by Kim Hufham, President/CEO of the Wilmington and Beaches Convention Visitor Bureau.

Dreams is a wonderful organization located in Wilmington that allows underprivileged children to experience and be involved with dance, music and the arts.
