Bessemer City High school
Bessemer City High School is an Innovation School in Gaston County Schools with a focus on using clear strategies and strong purpose to boost student success. Students receive extra instructional support, and teachers take on advanced roles to help students achieve at a higher level.
Getting ready for a new school year
The first day of school for students is Wednesday, August 12. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school and having an awesome school year.
The highlight of the school year
Graduation is a major milestone. It is a rite of passage for our students as they move on from high school and embark on new opportunities in college, the military, and the workforce.
When our graduating seniors walk across the stage, they are prepared for success and prosperity in life. It’s our ultimate commitment to students.
Marching as one. Playing for all.
We are proud of our marching band and appreciate what the band brings to our football games on Friday nights. Be sure to take in a game this fall and support the Yellow Jackets.
Providing care for students at school
Thanks to our partnership with Kintegra Health, we offer a telehealth clinic here at our school. Students, who are experiencing a minor illness or condition, can be seen by a medical provider virtually.
