BCS Early College, Year 2 students enjoyed a field trip to WCU -10/7. Students toured campus buildings including the H.F. Robinson Building for a brief on what to expect as a WCU Catamount and experienced an all-you can-eat extravaganza in one of the college's cafes.
Teachers are learners, too! Teachers at BCEC/BCMC engage in a lesson tuning protocol to model continuous learning in our school community.

#BCS students finished their year with exciting #FieldDay experiences! Check out these fun photos from around the district.
North Windy Ridge Intermediate (NWRI) students took a trip to Biltmore Estate to enjoy the scenery and learn about local history. The students had a busy day touring the large facilities, the farm and the home, and learning about horticulture, architecture, and local history. They got to learn about horse drawn carriages, metalworking, looms and weaving, and see the estate and a variety of farm animals.
“It’s history in our backyard,” said NWRI Principal Brent Wise. “Every student should see it at some point in their lives. It’s all about making connections with our local history.”
The school’s first trip to Biltmore, the NWRI PTO raised the funds for this trip that the students won’t soon forget.
