WHERE: Harrah's Cherokee Tower
WHEN: July 9-11, 2023
The North Carolina Association for Public Charter Schools proudly presents the 2023 North Carolina Charter Schools “Moving Mountains” Conference in Cherokee, NC! This year’s theme was chosen to reflect the ever-changing obstacles that must be addressed and overcome so that each NC Charter School can achieve maximum potential at every stage of development. This conference will not only leave attendees feeling empowered to move their own mountains, but also prepared to pivot when changing-terrain requires it.
As in previous years, we are expecting over 500 educators, administrators, board members, company representatives and legislators to continue making this the largest and most exciting Charter event in our state. Come feel the energy as this impressive community gathers to elevate NC Charter Schools from the mountains to the sea!
