2026-2027 Beginning Teacher of the Year - Olivia Flowers (pictured left)
Ms. Flowers (English) is the most confident, competent BT I've ever worked with. She's innovative and caring. She loves what she does and works to make every day a unique learning opportunity. Not only is she creative in her classroom, but she is also caring. She truly cares for her students and their success. At the end of the day, she wants to help her students succeed both in the classroom and beyond. Not a day goes by that I'm not inspired by the joy she embodies.
2026-2027 Teacher of the Year - Caitlyn Bachman (pictured right)
Mrs. Bachman (Fine Arts) is an exceptional teacher and a leader within the local arts community. She is selfless, taking on what many would consider to be an impossible daily task-load and thriving in spite of adversity. She has helped countless colleagues pursue their National Board certification, leads as a member of SIT, and serves on multiple state-wide committees and programs. She runs an incredibly successful art program, in which countless students have received statewide and even national awards. She was recognized as the North Carolina Art Education Association Secondary Teacher of the Year, an incredible honor and well-deserved award. There is not enough room to describe why Ms. Bachman is more than deserving of the recognition of Topsail High School's Teacher of the Year. She exemplifies what it truly means to be a PIRATE!
Congratulations Ms. Flowers and Ms. Bachman!
Each day at the end of morning announcements, we are reminded that as Pirates, we are positive, involved, responsible, attentive, thoughtful, and empowered. Last year, the faculty started a new initiative to honor the quintessential characteristics of a Topsail Pirate by nominating students in the senior class who most exhibit each of the six qualities. The six winners were featured in the Pirate Post and on the school’s social media sites and have their names permanently engraved on the Pirate Way plaque at the front of the school. Though there were many qualified student nominees, the six winners exemplify the essence of being a true Topsail Pirate. This week's trait is Positive, and our winner is Seamus Ostrosky.

CONGRATUATIONS to Ms. Stuart and our Yearbook Staff! The 2025 volume of The Pirate was selected from among more than 900 yearbooks submitted to Varsity Yearbook's Marketing Team last summer for inclusion in the Varsity Yearbook Portfolio, Volume 31. Their selection as one of the schools featured in this annual collection is impressive. This level of recognition is no accident. It's only through countless hours of dedication, constant communication and amazing, real-life skills that the editors, the yearbook staff, along with Ms. Stuart, were able to produce a yearbook that reflects extraordinary leadership, creativity and journalistic excellence! Kudos to an outstanding accomplishment!
