An Early College STUDENT had an idea of creating an area for students to SHARE/SWAP supplies. A TEACHER and her husband-Mr. Wallace- made it happen! Then the IDEA GREW and more teachers -Hieber, Copeland, - made this happen: TAKE A BOOK -LEAVE A BOOK. EC and MC are making BRIGHT IDEAS happen!

In case you missed it...Mrs. Wallace and students had a " Unidos" (United) celebration in recognition of Hispanic influence in our history and how their culture has enriched our communities. There was food, music, dancing, gifts and games! Check us out on Twitter for a Video! https://twitter.com/bcearlycollege

Teachers show their true colors on COLLEGE DAY at Early and Middle College!

BCS Early College, Year 2 students enjoyed a field trip to WCU -10/7. Students toured campus buildings including the H.F. Robinson Building for a brief on what to expect as a WCU Catamount and experienced an all-you can-eat extravaganza in one of the college's cafes.

Teachers are learners, too! Teachers at BCEC/BCMC engage in a lesson tuning protocol to model continuous learning in our school community.
