Award-Winning School Nutrition Department
Our outstanding School Nutrition Department has, once again, demonstrated its excellence by becoming the recipient of the Superior Site Award. The award is designed to recognize Summer Nutrition Programs that go above and beyond to increase participation and engagement in their communities. According to Director Janette Broda, the TCS School Nutrition Department received this award for expanding its already industrious Free Summer Meals program to include a mobile delivery route in both the Brevard and Pisgah Forest communities. The award will be presented by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction at the Hickory Metro Convention Center on Tuesday, November 18th. We are very proud of the continued success of our School Nutrition Department!
Fall 2025 Varsity Sports Wrap-Up
Many of the Fall Varsity Sports have finished their seasons, and we wanted to share a summary of highlights and achievements, as follows:
Rosman High School (please see AD Jennifer McCall’s summary on our website for more details)
- Volleyball – The women’s team placed 10th in the Smoky Mountain 1A/2A Conference and had impressive season wins over Summit Charter, Hiwassee Dam, and Blue Ridge Early College. Senior Tristin Powell reached a career milestone by earning 1,000 digs!
- Golf – This Fall, Rosman High School debuted its first ever women’s golf team. The team competed in tournaments across Western North Carolina against larger, more established teams, and exhibited composure and sportsmanship, while gaining great experience. Team members Ferrah Blake and Kirsten McCall both earned All-Conference honors.
- Cross Country – The team capped off a solid season by qualifying for the 2025 NCHSAA 1A State Championship, after having a strong showing at the West Regional. Ella Grace McNeely posted a personal record of 23:16.6 in the 5k at the August 27th meet, while teammate Berklee Glover also impressed with a time of 23.56.9. At the State Championship, Berklee ran the fastest time of all 1A freshman participants, finishing 15th overall, and Ella placed 26th.
- Football – The football team had its best season in years, securing two regular-season victories. Their overall record does not accurately capture their successes this year, including impressive and decisive victories over East Henderson and Copper Basin.
