Student Health
Meet our School Nurse--Emily Phipps
I have been a school nurse since 2020. Prior to becoming a school nurse, I worked in the Critical Care Unit. I received my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Wingate University. I am also a Nationally Certified School Nurse. I grew up locally, in Caldwell County, and I love this area. In my time away from work, I love spending time with my husband and two girls. We enjoy spending time outdoors enjoying the lake, beach, or mountains. I love to travel to new places, learn about different cultures, read, and craft.
The health and well-being of our students is important to me. I am passionate about helping students with chronic health conditions learn to become independent in caring for their condition. I believe that helping students be informed of their own health needs fosters independence and responsibility that is necessary in high school and beyond. I have enjoyed my time as a school nurse working in Catawba County Schools, specifically in the Bunker Hill community. I look forward to working with the students, parents, and staff as we pursue health and wellness for our Pirate family. It is my goal to keep our children healthy, safe, in school, and ready to learn. I would like to thank you all for allowing me to take care of your children. I am honored to be a part of an amazing community and school.
Please feel free to contact me about any health concerns, illnesses, injuries, medical procedures your child may be facing. Together we can ensure the best care for your student while at school.
