As our area continues to cope with impacts of Hurricane Helene, Buncombe County Schools will be closed Mon 9/30 and Tue 10/1. Both days are annual leave days. As our school system continues working with local emergency management officials, we will keep you updated about schedules for the coming days. Please stay safe!

We will start our "Second Shift" after-school programming on September, 30. A variety of clubs and activities that complement the curriculum will be offered Monday through Wednesday, and Funtastic Friday intramurals will kick off with flag football. All activities will run until 4:30.
