JUNIOR FOCUS DAY and CAREER FAIR

Junior Focus Day takes place at North Buncombe High School each spring to support our Juniors as they prepare for their senior year and beyond. Local businesses, area colleges and universities, and NBHS teachers help provide information about future options. All juniors will be able to attend workshops that are developed for students to gain helpful information, tips, guidance, and much more about planning for their future goals and opportunities.
