We love welcoming former Nesbitt Discovery Academy students back to share their experiences with the next generation of scientists! 🌱🌲

Our AP Environmental Science students recently learned about soil science and forestry from NDA alumni Aurora Gilley and Mateo Craven who graduated from Warren Wilson College. They also shared their educational journeys and explored the many career pathways and opportunities within these exciting fields. Thank you for inspiring our students and showing them how their passion for the environment can grow into a future career! ⚡️💜

Mr. Macken’s Biology classes recently visited UNC Asheville for an exciting, hands-on day of biological science. Students met with four biology professors and participated in laboratory and field experiences exploring microbiology, predator-prey relationships, and molecular genetics.

Students put science into practice by performing bacterial Gram staining to investigate microorganisms and using DNA gel electrophoresis to explore genes and molecular genetics.

Experiences like these give students the opportunity to work with scientific techniques used by researchers and see how the concepts they learn in class apply to real-world science.

A huge thank-you to Dr. Rebecca Hale and the UNC Asheville Biology Department for welcoming our students and providing this outstanding learning opportunity!

♟️ Thank you, Ben Johnson!♟️

We are excited to celebrate Ben and his Eagle Scout project! Ben designed, built, and donated two picnic tables with built-in chess boards for NDA students to enjoy.

With help from volunteers from Troop 72, Ben spent an incredible 134 hours planning, fundraising, and building these tables. His goal was to create a space where his peers could play chess, connect, and enjoy time together.

We are so grateful for Ben’s hard work and generosity in giving back to our school! 👏🏼♟️⚡️
