Thank you to UNCA for hosting the BCEC first-year students this week for an information session and tour! Go Bulldogs! This tour is just the first of many experiences this group of students will have to explore colleges. One of our missions at BCEC is to help to remove barriers for underserved students to attend a four-year university. Experiences such as this field trip help our students start to think about what life after high school can look like. #changingpossibilities #weareBCS #buncombecountyschools #publicschoolproud
