High School Battle of the Books (HBOB)

The Pitt County Schools Early College High School Battle of the Books (HBOB) team is building quite the legacy. Each year, these very busy students somehow find the time to read multiple books in order to compete against the the other high schools across Pitt County. It's like trivia, but all the questions come from a list of 16 books! Students must be familiar with the books and have the titles and authors memorized. This year's team came in third place. This was no easy task, and we are very proud of their hard work and dedication! Reading for the next competition (that takes place each spring) begins as soon as the previous competition is done. You can visit our HBOB page for the current reading list. Keep up the good work! Go Wolves!The ECHS 2024-2025 HBOB team placed 3rd in competition on March 31st, 2025, at South Central HS. Pictured are Brianna Barnes, Austin Ju, Phoenyx Leaks, Gabriela Washington, Anna Cauthon, Celia Bansah, Jamaria Barrow, Victoria Wright, and Amanda Diaz. Coaches (not pictured) were Evan Schmoll (PCC Library), Natasha Martin (ECHS), and Angela Davis (PCC Library). ...
