School Social Worker

Hello! I am Emma Cartwright, this is my second year as the social worker for Western Alamance High School. As your Child and Family Team leader, along with our school nurse, Shelley Metters, I am here to link school, community, and home for a successful academic and social life.

I am a proud graduate of The University of North Carolina at Greensboro.  I hold a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work with a concentration in School Social Work.  I continued my education and I have a Master's degree in Education.  I am a trained licensed School Social Worker through the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction.

My role as the School Social Worker is to link students and/or families to appropriate resources.  If any student/family is experiencing difficulties attending school (for any reason), does not have adequate shelter or food, or having difficulties in or outside of the classroom, please notify me. 

I can be reached at 336-538-6020 ext. 40019 or emma_cartwright@abss.k12.nc.us 

I look forward to working with you and/or your child to have a successful academic career.
