Northeast Regional School of Biotechnology and Agriscience (NERSBA) is a unique, public, early college high school located in Jamesville, North Carolina. Serving students in grades 9 through 13, the school is specifically designed to prepare pupils for careers in the agricultural and biotechnological sectors, which are vital to the economy of the surrounding rural region. By integrating a rigorous academic curriculum with hands-on, career-focused training, NERSBA aims to bridge the gap between traditional classroom learning and the evolving demands of 21st-century science and industry.

The school operates through a collaborative partnership with local school districts and North Carolina community colleges, allowing students to earn both a high school diploma and transferable college credit or an associate degree simultaneously. This structure not only accelerates students' professional readiness but also provides a tuition-free pathway to higher education. With a focus on experiential learning—such as field research, laboratory work, and internship opportunities—NERSBA fosters an environment where students can apply STEM principles to real-world agricultural challenges, ultimately empowering them to become the next generation of regional leaders in agriscience and technology.
