The High Country is home to some great community public schools, especially in Watauga County. The system, comprised of eight K-8 elementary schools and a high school, annually scores well in the NC School Performance Grades. It also embraces the power of social media, with the hashtag #wearewatauga used by teachers and students to show off the educational practices employed throughout the community.

Here are a few of the more recent tweet showing off the lessons and experiences of students in the greater Boone area.

Way to go! Great things are happening in CTE and @WHSConstructs at Watauga High! #WeAreWatauga https://t.co/hOeOtj4AmL
