Here's a quick note from the NC School of Science and Math:
We are excited to share that the Summer Accelerator residential program, sponsored by the Dogwood Health Trust, is open for applications! We have two courses for rising 7th - 9th grade students and two courses for rising 10th - 12th grade students. We have openings for 60 middle and high school students to stay on our NCSSM-Morganton campus during the week of July 23-28th and take one of these summer courses.


We hope everyone had a great spring and are looking forward to seeing all the students back tomorrow.
