For a number of years, Brevard High School has participated in an international student exchange program with the Mariagerfjord Gymnasium High School in Hobro, Denmark. The exchange alternates each year—one year their students come to Brevard and the next year our students go to Hobro. Students spend a week with host families, attend school, and explore local life and areas of interest. The last exchange was scheduled for the spring of 2020, but was cancelled due to the COVID pandemic.

School trips that require travel outside of the continental United States must be approved by the board upon recommendation by the superintendent or designee. Andrew Healy and members of the Denmark Exchange Committee will be here to request approval of an exchange trip to Denmark this spring and answer any questions you may have. An information sheet and tentative itinerary, policy 3320 (School Trips), and regulation 3320-R are attached for your review.

The board may take action on the superintendent’s recommendation for the proposed student exchange trip to Hobro, Denmark on March 27 to April 6, 2024.
