Dear Transylvania County Schools community,

Brevard High School Principal, David “Mick” Galloway has decided to announce his retirement from Transylvania County Schools, effective February 28, 2026.  

Principal Galloway has spent the last 31 years serving Transylvania County Schools, and we are so grateful for all of his amazing work during this time. His positive impact on our community, our students and staff has been tremendous. This impact will continue to benefit our schools for years to come as he pursues his next chapter. We are wishing him the very best as he takes his next steps. 

The following is a message from Principal Galloway:

“I am beyond blessed to have spent the last 31 years serving Transylvania County Schools as a teacher, coach, athletic director, assistant principal, and principal. What began as a career quickly became a calling, and I am deeply grateful for the journey.

The relationships built with students, staff, families, and community members are what I will cherish most. Being able to work in the same school system I grew up in, while also raising my own family here, has been an incredible gift to me and my family. This community shaped me, supported me, and allowed me to give back to a system that has shaped my life from the time I entered the doors of Rosman Elementary as a kindergartner in 1977.  

I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the colleagues who became lifelong friends, the mentors who guided me, and the students who inspired me daily. In every role I was fortunate enough to serve reinforced my belief in the power of public education and the strength of Transylvania County Schools.

As I close this chapter, I do so with a full heart and lasting appreciation. Thank you for the trust, the support, and the opportunity to serve such a remarkable school system. Transylvania County Schools will always be a part of who I am.

Go Big Blue!!”

Brevard High School students took their learning beyond the classroom during Success Day, with a group from the school's OCS program dedicating their time to local community service.
At The COVE, the students helped prepare the emergency shelter for families in need. The group then traveled to Sapphire Ridge, where they spent quality time with residents and assisted the activities director. Their final stop was Brevard Church of God, where they completed additional service projects.
Through hands-on service projects, students gained valuable experience in teamwork and community engagement while making a positive impact on local organizations.
