A big 'thank you' to all of the tour guides and classroom presenters!
Last Friday, after 31 years in Transylvania County Schools, Principal Mick Galloway said goodbye to Brevard High School. The entire school and BHS community gathered in the auditorium to share memories, and show well-deserved appreciation for Mr. Galloway and his positive impact on students and teachers across the county. The amount of people in attendance and the stories told on Friday were a true display of what it looks like when a longtime educator uplifts their school community for decades, by caring about each individual and always striving to make things better.
While we will miss Mr. Galloway at Brevard High School, we wish him well as he takes on another beneficial role in the community, and we are excited for the great things to come for our Blue Devil community.
"One person does not make a school. You all decide what Brevard High School gets to be," Galloway said on Friday, encouraging students to pursue their goals and dreams, and keep the good momentum going.
Day #1 of Read Across America week is in the books!
Reading and literacy are promoted in every classroom across Transylvania County Schools. This week, students are engaging in an additional celebration of reading!
Mrs. Goins' class at Pisgah Forest Elementary School, for example, is reading Holes. This great book explores themes of friendship, resilience, perseverance and making good choices.
"This is starting to get really interesting," a 5th grade student said!
Thank you for all you do to serve our school communities and provide essential services to support students' academic and social success.

Families, students and staff are encouraged to mark their calendars for these important upcoming milestones. All events will take place at the Brevard Music Center. Further details will be shared as the dates approach.

Due to the significant winter weather our area has experienced this school year, the school board voted on Monday to make an additional adjustment to our school calendar.
State calendar law limits school systems to only 5 remote learning days per school year, and we have now used our allotted remote learning days due to weather-related closures. To ensure that our students receive the required in-person instructional time, 10 minutes will be added to each school day beginning on March 23. This is intended to prevent the use of Saturday school, or an extended calendar, if more inclement weather comes our way this year.
These 10 minutes will be broken up and added to instructional time throughout the day. Each principal will provide a schedule for parents.
How this will impact dismissal time: Starting March 23, students will be dismissed 10 minutes later than the regular schedule.
Reminder | Friday, May 1 will be a full instructional day.
We recognize that this change may require adjustments to family schedules, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we navigate these weather-related changes together.
If you have questions regarding this schedule change, please contact your school's main office.
Sincerely,
Transylvania County Schools
"I just saw people who needed help. I've been playing football a long time. I guess that teamwork mindset kicked in," he told the Transylvania Times in a recent article.
Transylvania County Schools is proud of Zeke for his demonstration of quick thinking, courage, and concern for those around him.
Last night, Transylvania County Schools Superintendent Dr. Lisa Fletcher took a moment during the school board meeting to recognize one of Brevard High School's own, and his family was there to share in the moment! Congratulations to Keaton Campbell on winning the Indoor Track State Championship in the 1600M and finishing as State Runner-Up in the 3200M.
Keaton, along with Andy Gorman, helped lead the BHS Men's Team to a 4th place overall finish at the state meet.
And let's not forget the BHS Girls Team, who also represented Blue Devil Track with excellence, finishing 10th overall in the state!
To every student-athlete and coach who gave their all this season, your hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed!
Justice, a retired school administrator from Henderson County Public Schools, brings a strong background in school leadership and student programs. He was recognized by HCPS at his retirement for his years of service and for the impact he made across schools, including his leadership work connected to the Career Academy Annex.
During his career, Justice served as an assistant principal at East Henderson High School, and he also held responsibilities as athletic director, supporting both academics and student activities.
Justice is also known for long-standing involvement in athletics and student leadership. He previously served as the head football coach at North Henderson High School before moving into school administration as the assistant principal at East Henderson.
We are incredibly excited to welcome Mr. Justice to the Blue Devil community as he serves in this interim position.
Thank you,

While last week was officially School Bus Appreciation Week, we wanted to give our TCS bus drivers another shoutout! Bus drivers navigate our winding mountain roads with expert care, ensuring our most precious cargo arrives safely every single day.
📸 Pictured here: Our wonderful bus drivers at Rosman Elementary School catching a well-deserved break! They enjoyed a quick Valentine’s Day lunch together after finishing their morning routes.
