Charles Furlow

Welcome to Charles Furlow's  Page.

 I have been a business and marketing instructor with Buncombe County Schools since 2005. I have been at A.C. Reynolds for 18 years and served as a Career Development Coordinator from 2022-20204. I returned to AC Reynolds High in the Fall of 2024 to resume classroom duties.

I attended Carolina Day School during high school and graduated in 1989. I attended and graduated from The University of North Carolina at Greensboro with a major in Business Administration in 2003. I completed my teaching degree at N.C. State in 2006,  a Master's degree in School Administration from Gardner Webb in 2012, and a Master's Degree in Instructional Technology from Appalachian State in 2018. My work experience before becoming an educator includes human resource management for a restaurant corporation, management for Enterprise Rent-A-Car, a mortgage broker for a lending corporation, and various positions in the hospitality industry. I opened a short-term rental and small wedding venue in 2022 and am an entrepreneur. My experiences in the industry bring relevance and insight to the business and marketing classes I teach.  

I love teaching and helping students find their passion so they can have a productive and successful life. I believe in forming strong relationships with my students to create an inclusive environment where ALL students can be successful.

DECA

I am the DECA advisor for A.C. Reynolds. DECA is a club for students interested in entrepreneurship, marketing, hospitality, and finance. DECA allows students to explore the many facets of the business world through competition, volunteer opportunities, and travel. I encourage all students to explore DECA and participate in the school community.  Please come and see me if you have any questions about DECA.
