The 2026 STEAM Expo is almost here!
The day was filled with curiosity, excitement, and meaningful moments as students began to see themselves on a college campus. Experiences like this truly bring postsecondary pathways to life!
A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this day possible—we are so proud of our TIGER students and excited for what’s ahead!
Named in honor of the second Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America, this award is presented to teachers, coaches, and administrators who make a lasting difference in the lives of young people through character-building and service.
Thank you, Mr. Dinsdale, for your commitment to our students!
Congratulations to all participants! Everyone who represented Transylvania County Schools did so with excellence and dedication.
A huge thank you to the Transylvania County Library and Katie Silver for the use of their facility, and to all the volunteers who made the day possible: Amy Galloway, Bethany Chapman, Jennifer Heaslip, Alyse Hollingsworth, Teresa Duvall, Glenda Bingle, MaryAnn Winslow, Carrie Norris, Melissa Levine, and Christy Rogers.
The Transylvania County Schools Board of Education voted at its most recent meeting to add 10 minutes of instructional time to each school day during the 2026–2027 school year. Please check the chart below to see how this will impact your school’s arrival and dismissal times.
Adding instructional time to the regular school day allows our schools to meet state requirements for in-person instructional time without requiring Saturday school or taking days away from Thanksgiving, winter, or spring breaks in the event of inclement weather.
Each school has a unique bell schedule to fit the needs of their students and staff. The 10 minutes will be spread throughout the day rather than added as a single block. Each principal will share a schedule with parents.
Because schools across the district already have slightly different start and end times due to shared bus routes and different bell schedules, please check your child's school in the graphic below for their specific updated dismissal time.
Leaders at each school in our district decide the best option for their staff and students as it relates to the sharing of buses, and departure and arrival times. While every school will have 10 minutes of instruction added to their day, some schools have added this instructional time throughout the day without extending the school day (shortening time spent on announcements, for example). School leaders will continue to work on developing bell schedules that minimize disruptions for parent and staff schedules.
We recognize that this change may require adjustments to family schedules, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding.
If you have questions, please contact your child's school or the Transylvania County Schools central office.
Transylvania County Schools is proud to announce Brandon Chase McIntyre has been selected to serve as our new BHS Head Football Coach!
Coach McIntyre is no stranger to the BHS community, having served as a teacher and assistant football coach right here at Brevard. A proud graduate of West Henderson High School with deep roots in Transylvania County, he went on to play football at Appalachian State before completing his undergraduate degrees in Spanish and Spanish Education at Western Carolina University. He later earned a Master of Arts in Teaching in Health and Physical Education, bringing a well-rounded academic and athletic foundation to his new role.
Since joining Transylvania County Schools in August 2022, Coach McIntyre has been an integral part of the Brevard football program, serving in several key leadership roles including Special Teams Coordinator, Recruiting Coordinator, Media Coordinator, and JV Offensive Coordinator. He has also coached multiple position groups, helping develop our student-athletes both on and off the field.
Beyond the gridiron, Coach McIntyre serves as a Physical Education & Health Teacher and Department Head at Brevard High School, where he has demonstrated outstanding leadership by expanding course offerings and creating new opportunities for students to stay active and engaged. He also helped establish the Student Athlete Advisory Council alongside Josh Galloway, further strengthening leadership opportunities for Brevard’s student-athletes.
Before joining the Brevard family, Coach McIntyre spent four years teaching and coaching in Buncombe County, including three years as a head football coach at the middle school level, experience that speaks directly to his ability to develop young athletes both on and off the field.
We are excited to see Coach McIntyre lead our program with the passion, familiarity, and dedication he has already shown our school and community. Please join us in congratulating him as he steps into this well-deserved role.
Coach McIntyre’s Message:
“I am honored and grateful for the opportunity to serve as the head football coach at Brevard High School. This program has a proud tradition of competitive football built on the commitment, toughness, and pride of those who came before us. My goal is to build on that foundation by developing a program rooted in discipline, accountability, and relentless effort. We will work to create a culture that reflects pride in the Blue Devils, where our players embrace hard work, compete with physicality and confidence, and represent Brevard with integrity both on and off the field.”
Meet & Greet Opportunity | Fans, players, and families are invited to meet Coach McIntyre on Thursday, March 26 at 5:30 PM in the BHS Auditorium.
Please join us in welcoming Coach McIntyre as we begin an exciting new chapter for Brevard Blue Devils Football!
