As the weather heats up, we're grateful for the hardworking folks from Blum Construction who are powering through summer construction projects at Rosman Elementary School (RES), Brevard Middle School (BMS), and Brevard High School (BHS)! Here's a look at a few recent photos captured on the work sites.
Learn more about the Transylvania County School bond projects below:
What are bonds?
Bonds are a method of funding to help pay for large-scale projects like these school renovations. A complete plan for projects had to be created and submitted before the bonds could be sold. The first bonds were sold at the end of 2024 so the projects could begin. The County will pay the bonds back over time according to a pre-established schedule. The County has been planning and saving for school bond payments over multiple years.
What are the school bond projects?
These are capital (construction/renovation) projects to conduct major updates and repairs to ALL Transylvania County Schools. The scopes of work were identified through a comprehensive assessment by contractor Axias; approved by both the Board of Education and the Board of Commissioners; and finalized in an Interlocal Agreement by Transylvania County and Transylvania County Schools in February 2025.
Want to stay in the loop on school renovations?
The School Bond Project Manager delivers a report on the renovation and construction work at the 2nd Board of Commissioners meeting every month, as well as at Board of Education Meetings. His reports are also available on the County website at http://www.transylvaniacounty.org/transylvania-county...
Today, students in the summer literacy program headed to the creek at Brevard College for some hands-on cleanup and learning!
Campers explored the creek to study the invertebrates that live there and what they tell us about water quality. The highlight of the day: catching a mayfly, which only lives in clean water, a great sign that the creek at Brevard College is healthy! Students also caught fish, crawdads, and other creek creatures along the way. So much fun!
The summer literacy program is hosted by Brevard First United Methodist Church, with the help of several Transylvania County Schools educators. The program is led by site director Baylee Bicio, a teacher at Pisgah Forest Elementary School, and staffed by six TCS employees from three of the district's four elementary schools, serving 30 K-2 campers from all four elementary schools this summer.
Over the past two years, students in the program have shown an average of four months of reading growth during their five weeks in the program, based on MAP Growth data!
Mornings include five rotations of reading intervention groups, and afternoons feature enrichment activities built around a weekly theme tied to read-aloud texts.

As Transylvania County Schools graduates crossed the Brevard Music Center stage during the 2026 commencement ceremonies for RHS. BHS and DRS, our community looked on with pride. But, what many did not see, was the rows and rows of teachers and staff who came to support these awesome graduates. They come every year, to every graduation. Why? Because they care. They are invested in each student's success. If you were able to get close to those teachers on graduation day, you'd see these educators beaming with pride, a tear in the eye for some, as they watched their students cross the stage. They built solid relationships and challenged every student. They watched these scholars work hard...and fail... and try again... and win...and change and grow over the years. These teachers, on graduation day AND throughout each students' education experience, were THERE.

VIDEO HERE | As summer heats up, so does summer bond project work across our school campuses! As we look at the work happening now, we also wanted to pause and reflect on some of the major county-funded school projects and upgrades completed during the 2025–2026 school year.
These upgrades were only possible because of you, the Transylvania County community. While there is more work in progress, these accomplishments are a reminder of how much our neighbors support and value our students, teachers, and local public education.
Take a look at just some of the amazing things we accomplished and completed together last year. 🎬

School administrators participated in a professional development session today focused around the newly released instructional framework, Ascend.
The framework, presented to the TCS Board of Education in May, provides an outline of effective teaching practices to be used across grades K through 12.
The framework is a collaborative project created by teachers, student voices, and district leads. The framework will go into effect for the 2026 2027 school year.
