We’re excited to highlight a recent segment from The Hampton Roads Show — “I Am Hampton Roads” — spotlighting Western Branch Middle School’s very own Shay Duncan!
Mrs. Duncan’s Black History Month bulletin boards go far beyond eye-catching displays. They serve as powerful teaching tools that celebrate culture, honor heritage, and inspire pride in every student who walks her halls. This year’s showcase is especially meaningful, as it reflects her personal journey as a proud North Carolina A&T State University alum.
🎥 Take a moment to watch how she’s creating impact in and beyond the classroom:

We loved welcoming Ms. Tammy Miller from the Chesapeake Public Library to Western Branch Middle during Bruin Bell today! 📚✨
