School Social Worker
About Me
Hello! My name is Sarah Beverage and I serve as the school social worker for SEA-Tech High School and Wilmington Early College High School! Prior to starting with NHCS, I worked with children and families involved in the foster care system, as well as helping children and families find permanence through adoption. I graduated from the University of North Carolina Wilmington in 2015 with my Bachelor's of Social Work Degree (BSW). In 2019, I completed my Master's of Youth, Family and Community Sciences (M.R.) from North Carolina State University (Go Pack!).
When I am not working you can find me traveling, at the beach or spending time family. My husband and I enjoy completing projects around our home and spending time with our little boy and our fur babies.
I serve as the 504 Coordinator for SEA-Tech and 504 Co-Coordinator for WECHS. If you have questions regarding your student's 504, please contact me.
