Congratulations to the Brevard High School Blue Devils football team, the Brevard High School Men’s and Women’s Cross Country Teams, and the Brevard High School Women’s Volleyball team on their conference achievements!

North Carolina Homeless Liaison of the Year
The NC Department of Public Instruction Division for the Education of Homeless Children and Youth recently named Beth Branagan as the Homeless Liaison of the Year for North Carolina. Congratulations and thanks go to Ms. Branagan for her many accomplishments and all that she does for our most vulnerable population of children.
BES is a “Lowe’s Heroes” School
Congratulations to Brevard Elementary School for being selected as a “Lowe’s Heroes” school for 2019-2020. Part of this recognition is getting lots of free materials! The most recent donation to the school included materials to fence the entire track area. Principal Carrie Norris requested this project to improve safety for students in special needs and K/1 classes. With the Greenville Highway so close, it is often an area that teachers avoid. Brevard Elementary School is excited about making its campus more accessible for ALL students.
RHS Seniors Give Back to the Community
On October 15, sixty Rosman High School students and seven adults donated over 400 work hours to bettering their community during the annual Senior Service Day. About 10 students did a river cleanup project, collecting enough trash and tires that it took three trucks to haul it all to the dump. HOSA students performed approximately 400 vision screenings for students at RHS, RMS, RES and TCH. A group worked at TCH painting tiger paws on the driveway and cleaning flower beds and the walking trail. At RES, student took 5th grade pictures, helped paint their spirit rock, built flower boxes and helped in classrooms. Students also sorted, organized and purged donations at the Tiger Town Thrift Store. Organizer Julie Queen tries to find a new group or organization to help each year. This year, the group that benefited was Ridge Haven Conference Center. There students helped set up for a fall festival and cleaned up walking trails. RHS provided each student with a commemorative t-shirt as well as lunch and snacks. Many thanks to Queen’s Mini Mart and Whitmire Grading for helping fund the event and Headwaters Outfitters for providing the canoes and river guides.
