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,
Transylvania County Schools
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.
Sunday was National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day, and we want to give a big shoutout to the dedicated officers who keep our campuses safe every single day!
In Transylvania County Schools, we are proud to have a School Resource Officer (SRO) at all nine of our schools. These officers work every day to keep our students safe. They also serve as positive role models and familiar faces who build meaningful relationships with our students and staff.
Thank you to our SROs!
Sgt. Major Lance Oufnac, MCJROTC instructor at BHS, was nominated by a former student to be featured as News 13's Teacher of the Month!

Our Blue Devils brought home a perfect 6-0 record from the Henderson County Courthouse and swept three out of four individual awards:
Katie Owens - sophomore
Victoria Ramsey - sophomore
Katie Futrelle - sophomore
These talented students, led by Ms. Przywara, represented Brevard High with excellence:
Greysen Motley, Rebecca Harris, Abigail Dodd, Sophia Purcell, Madeline Andrews, Katie Owens, Victoria Ramsey, and Katie Futrelle, with Paige Dinsdale serving as bailiff and timekeeper.
Academic competitions like mock trial develop critical thinking, public speaking, and leadership skills that will serve our students for a lifetime. We're incredibly proud of this team's hard work!

Little River Campground Rd.
Reasonover Rd.
Solomon Jones Rd.
