This year, American Education Week will be celebrated this week, November 17th through November 21st. The week is a time to honor everyone involved in the education process, celebrate the heritage of learning, and recognize excellence in education. Each day has a different theme, as follows:
Monday, November 17th – Kickoff Day (introduction of theme)
Tuesday, November 18th – Family Day (parent(s)/guardian(s) invited to school)
Wednesday, November 19th – Education Support Professionals Day (honor school support staff)

Every year, the Board adopts a Proclamation designating American Education Week in Transylvania County. As part of the celebration, the Board sponsors a free Thanksgiving meal for all current and retired school system employees. The meals are provided in the school cafeterias, and volunteers from our Central Office staff help to serve the meals. This year’s Thanksgiving Meal will be served on Wednesday, November 19th.
A motion is in order to adopt the attached Proclamation designating the week of November 17-21, 2025, as American Education Week in Transylvania County.
