Generous donations from a trio of local corporate sponsors will serve as the foundation for the newly created Public Safety Cadet Program at Bertie High School.

In an event held Dec. 2 at the school campus, Republic Services, JBA Properties, and Perdue Farms donated funds to the program.

Personnel from Governor Pat McCrory’s office were on hand for the event, including Gwen Norville, Deputy Director of Prisons Administration, and Linda Murphy, Eastern Regional Director of the NC Council for Women.
