ECC President Meets with Pattillo Alumni

Representatives of the W.A. Pattillo High School National Alumni Association recently met with Dr. Greg McLeod, president of Edgecombe Community College. The association was organized in 1978, and, in 1981, former students of Tarboro Colored High, W.A. Pattillo High, and Princeville Elementary schools gathered for the first reunion. Today, the annual reunion of the W.A. Pattillo High School National Alumni Association draws more than 250 alumni nationwide to the Edgecombe community.
