ENKA INTERMEDIATE - OPENING FALL 2016
Construction is on schedule for Buncombe County Schools' newest addition, Enka Intermediate.
The school will serve students in
grades 5 and 6. The similarity in age and grade of the students will
create an engaging and educational atmosphere. Academics are a top
priority. Enka Intermediate will offer rigorous classes, including
exploratory classes like medical detectives, band, chorus, and Project
Lead the Way!
Students will have a myriad of extracurricular activities and clubs to participate in as well.
Plus, thanks to Buncombe County
Schools' Digital 1 to 1 Initiative, all Enka Intermediate students will
have their own touch screen laptop giving them access to the most
advanced digital learning.
Enka Intermediate will be a 21st Century, high-tech intermediate school!
We'll announce Enka's principal in March and teachers will receive their assignments in late Spring.
Parent meetings will be scheduled in the spring as well. The remaining staff positions will be assigned this summer.
