Brevard High School is a public high school in Brevard, North Carolina, one of three in the Transylvania County Schools district. In the 2022–2023 school year, it had an enrollment of 751.[1] David "Mick" Galloway became the principal at the start of the 2023–2024 school year.[2]
The school was located on South Broad Street from 1925 until the 1959–60 school year, when the campus on Country Club Road opened.[3][4] Until court-ordered desegregation began in 1963, Brevard High was white, and black students attended a school in Hendersonville.[5][6]
Athletics
Brevard High School competes on the NCHSAA 2A level. Its teams are the Blue Devils. Sports include basketball, cross-country, golf, football, soccer, track, volleyball, and wrestling.[7] The football team has won the state championship twice. In 1963, a racially integrated team played Reidsville High School to a 0–0 draw in the state AAA championship; the teams were declared co-champions and after winning a coin toss, Brevard took the trophy.[8][9] In 1982 Brevard won for the second time after going undefeated.[10][11]
Brevard has had a longstanding athletic rivalry with the Hendersonville High School Bearcats;[12][13] incidents with unruly spectators led to a 1963 ban on competitions between the two teams without special permission.[14][15]
