POST OF THE WEEK: 🏆 North Buncombe Middle’s Nicholas Honeycutt Surprised as Principal of the Year
School principals keep close tabs on the many activities happening on campus throughout the day. That makes it challenging to pull off a surprise, but not impossible. A special event on Sept. 22 at North Buncombe Middle School required all students to move into the auditorium without the knowledge of principal Nicholas Honeycutt.
Thanks to help from assistant principal Dr. Suzette Takei, Mr. Honeycutt was scheduled to attend a short last-minute meeting down the road at Weaverville Elementary. That provided about 15 minutes for the North Buncombe students and teachers, along with Dr. Jackson and the rest of the BCS Surprise Squad, to get in place.

⛳️ 🏌️♂️ Our PE classes are in full swing—literally! Coach Frisby and Coach McCurry are introducing our 5th and 6th graders to the game of golf. Students are learning the basics of grip, stance, and swing form, while also practicing proper technique and sportsmanship.
Golf is not only a lifelong sport, but also a great way to build focus, patience, and perseverance. Our students are having a fantastic time giving it a try, and we’re so grateful to have PE teachers who make fitness both fun and meaningful. 🏌️♂️ #Koontz PE is a real “hit” — our students are teeing up new skills and swinging into future success on the golf course! 💙💛
