National Spanish Exam
Congratulations to several world language students from Rosman High School who attained national recognition for excellent performance on the 2009 National Spanish Examinations. The exams, sponsored by the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese, are administered across the United States each year in grades 6-12. Six of the 15 students who took the exam earned honorable mentions. "Attaining a medal or honorable mention for any student on the National Spanish Examinations is very prestigious," said Kevin Cessna-Buscemi, National Director of the Exams. "The exams are the largest of their kind in the United States with well over 115,000 students participating in 2009."
Students earning recognition are Leanna Hall, Amanda Huggins, Juan Mundo-Mendez, Brandon Newman, Chelsie Owen, and Crystal Owen. Their Spanish teachers were Julie Queen and Linda Carrillo.

At the May 18 meeting, the Board heard a request from BHS Athletic Director, Mark Robinson, to post signs on the Brevard High School campus to help prevent the misuse and abuse of athletic fields and grounds by unauthorized persons. The signs would include the following language:
“No trespassing by order of the Transylvania County Board of Education. Trespassers will be prosecuted under N.C. General Statute 14-159.13.”
The Board requested time to consider the request and obtain feedback from the community.
The Board may take action on the request to post “No Trespassing” signs at Brevard High School at this time.
