Transylvania County Schools

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!

👀 If you spot a crane at Brevard High School on Monday, here’s what’s going on: crews will be installing new softball field lights!
💡 These Olympia LED Stadium Sports Floodlights weigh almost 50 pounds each and will sit atop 60-foot steel poles.
⚾️ The softball field lighting upgrade is a capital project requested by the Board of Education and funded by the Board of Commissioners.
🚜 The project includes replacing wooden poles with steel poles, installing new floodlights, and upgrading the electrical system and switches.

Exciting things are happening at Davidson River School!
Teacher Sara Smith recently received a Creative Classrooms Grant from the Transylvania County Schools Educational Foundation to launch "Cultivate, Thrive, and Prosper," a hands-on agriculture and animal care program. The program empowers students to build real-world skills, explore career pathways, and grow in confidence and responsibility through therapeutic, project-based learning.
Right now, students are growing their own chicken feed by sprouting lentils in jars, washing and rinsing them daily. By day-3 they already had sprouts, and in about a week they will have a full jar ready to feed the school chickens!
The entire school community directly benefits from this project through beautification projects and hands-on STEAM learning.

We are celebrating Brevard High School's DECA students following their major success at the Career Development Conference in Greensboro!
Out of 6,500 students competing from across the state, BHS students stood out.

Janaysia Cornett earned 1st place in her role-play scenario in the Apparel & Accessories Category and Dillon Hunter was awarded the AMA Marketing Management Certification! Thirteen out of 17 BHS students earned Competency Pins for their scores in the competitive events.

Beyond the results, teachers from across the state noted our students were professional, polite and kind. They participated in workshops, took their competitions seriously and represented Brevard High School well.

Congratulations to the students and their DECA advisor, Laura Smith!
