Through peer presentations, students uncovered new insights into characters, while also recognizing the deeper symbolism woven throughout the play and the emotional arc across its five acts. Creative elements, like character-based playlists, added another layer of interpretation, helping students connect literature to music and better understand complex characters. This interactive approach not only deepens comprehension but also empowers students to think critically and appreciate multiple viewpoints.
High school students who are enrolled in a course that does NOT have a state-mandated, end-of-course assessment, may be exempt from taking the final exam. Students may be exempt if ALL of the following criteria are met: The student is NOT enrolled in a course with a state-mandated assessment The student has maintained an A or B in the course The student must have 6 or fewer tardies and/or early departure in the class (excused or unexcused) The student must have 5 or fewer absences in a class (excused or unexcused) Students are encouraged to take all optional exams if they feel the exam grade may improve their final course grade. For students who are exempt, choosing to opt out of an optional exam does not harm the student’s grade. Required state-mandated final assessments must be taken. The final assessment will be 25% of the student’s semester average.

Last night, Transylvania County Schools Superintendent Dr. Lisa Fletcher took a moment during the school board meeting to recognize one of Brevard High School's own, and his family was there to share in the moment! Congratulations to Keaton Campbell on winning the Indoor Track State Championship in the 1600M and finishing as State Runner-Up in the 3200M.
Keaton, along with Andy Gorman, helped lead the BHS Men's Team to a 4th place overall finish at the state meet.
And let's not forget the BHS Girls Team, who also represented Blue Devil Track with excellence, finishing 10th overall in the state!
To every student-athlete and coach who gave their all this season, your hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed!
Our Blue Devils brought home a perfect 6-0 record from the Henderson County Courthouse and swept three out of four individual awards:
Katie Owens - sophomore
Victoria Ramsey - sophomore
Katie Futrelle - sophomore
These talented students, led by Ms. Przywara, represented Brevard High with excellence:
Greysen Motley, Rebecca Harris, Abigail Dodd, Sophia Purcell, Madeline Andrews, Katie Owens, Victoria Ramsey, and Katie Futrelle, with Paige Dinsdale serving as bailiff and timekeeper.
Academic competitions like mock trial develop critical thinking, public speaking, and leadership skills that will serve our students for a lifetime. We're incredibly proud of this team's hard work!
