“When I thought about how great it was to have our sister high schools supporting us during this time of tragedy, my first thought was, ‘We are Carteret Strong!’ But, to see that wave of support that started at West Carteret to grow to the level that it has across the state and other places means a lot to our staff, students, and families at East Carteret,” the high school’s principal, Jay Westbrook, said in a Wednesday statement.

He said, “We are glad there are many Mariners in our community, the region and the state today.”

According to the Carteret County Sheriff’s Office the group was returning home from a hunting trip, when the plane crashed into Atlantic Ocean. The other victims were pilot Ernest Rawls (67); his son Jeffrey Rawls (28); Stephanie McInnis Fulcher (42); and Douglas Parks (45).
