 Beliefs
At Brevard High School, we believe all students can learn, and can be contributing members of society. In addition, we believe student learning is the chief priority of the school. Finally, we believe that students learn best when they have appropriate opportunities for success, and that a safe and physically comfortable environment promotes student learning.

Given these core beliefs, curriculum and instructional practices strive to incorporate a variety of learning activities in order to accommodate the individual intellectual needs of our students. For example, student support services and the faculty work hand-in-hand to support the physical, social, and emotional needs of our students by helping to remove any barriers that would impede student learning. As a consequence, the students attending Brevard High School are able to develop strong, positive relationships with their teachers, administrators, and school staff. Students also know that the faculty and administration have high expectations for their academic performance and will challenge them accordingly so that they attain their full potential.

We recognize that as society evolves so must the skills necessary to ensure student success. Therefore, we are committed to continuous improvement in order to ensure that our students will become confident, lifelong learners and active participants in the American republic, and citizens in a global society. Faculty, administration, staff, parents, students, and the community-at-large all share the responsibility for advancing our school's mission of believing in education, honoring all people, and succeeding in life. We communicate our vision, beliefs, and mission by publicizing them on our website, posting them in key areas of our school, and including them on school letterhead and stationary. Our vision, beliefs, and mission serve as the foundation for programmatic, policy, and procedural decisions within the school, while ensuring that individual student learning and success remain our primary focus. We evaluate and validate our vision, beliefs, and mission by reviewing them regularly at faculty meetings and school improvement team meetings to ensure that they are focused on the current needs of our students and Transylvania County. Revisions to this structure of core beliefs are made by a consensus vote at the school and community level.

The rules and regulations of Brevard High School are designed to support these goals. The behaviors and choices of each person at BHS must support the educational process, contribute to the health and safety of all members of the school community, and support the dignity and worth of every individual.

We invite and encourage open communication between parents and faculty members. Parents, if you are concerned about your child's progress and would like a progress report, a parent/teacher conference, or a phone call from your child's teacher, you may call the BHS guidance office. If you would like to discuss an issue with an administrator, please do not hesitate to contact any member of our administrative team.
