The Location
Located in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, Buncombe County (the greater Asheville area) is considered a major tourist destination and a wonderful place to work and raise a family. Asheville has a vibrant night life with a wide variety of shops and restaurants. Nicknamed, "The Land of the Sky," Asheville is noted for its inviting climate and sheer natural beauty. Thousands of acres of national park land are swept with color in the fall. Winters sparkle with snow-capped mountains. Some of the attractions and recreational activities include Biltmore Estate and Winery, Thomas Wolfe Memorial, North Carolina Arboretum, Blue Ridge Parkway, WNC Nature Center, Asheville Community Theatre, art galleries, snow skiing and professional baseball.
Buncombe County Schools is a place of natural beauty and educational excellence. We pride ourselves in supporting our new and veteran teachers. This is why 22,000 students in 45 schools and 3,700 staff say “YES” to BCS.
