(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - To start off I must say I, myself, am a former student of North Buncombe High School. I did attend another local high school, Clyde A. Erwin. This was in the 80's. My daughter is now a student at NBHS. I would not allow my children to attend any other school anywhere in USA. I made a mistake in transferring to the other mentioned school. I have had opportunities to have my children enroll in other credited institutes, I will not leave this school. This is the one place I know my kids are cared for. The teachers are dedicated to their students, our children. I am for strict rules and guidelines. I am for the students getting all there is to offer. this school is for the students (if they like it or not). Thank you for all you do for our kids.
