CTE Creates Plate Assemblies for BHS Cafeteria & Auxiliary Gym Beams
Brevard High School Career/Technical Education (CTE) teachers Jay Case and Vincent Warren and their students (especially Nathan Lance, Tony MejiaTufino, Luke Myers, Bronsyn Wyant, and Xan Mihas), fabricated 128 3/8" metal plates on the Brevard High CTE CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine to use in repairing the BHS cafeteria and auxiliary gym beams. Each cafeteria plate assembly has 8 1" holes for bolts and 4 welds. Each gym plate assembly has 18 1" holes for bolts and 4 welds. These plate assemblies secure the base of the beams and allow us to occupy. Thank you to Brevard High School CTE for their tremendous work.

American Education Week
November 15-19, 2021 is American Education Week, a time to celebrate public education and the individuals who make a difference by ensuring that every student receives a quality education. Each year the board adopts a proclamation designating American Education Week in Transylvania County (see attached). In addition, all current and retired school system employees are invited to a free Thanksgiving lunch in the school cafeterias as guests of the board. This year’s Thanksgiving lunch is planned for Thursday, November 18.
A motion is in order to adopt the proclamation declaring the week of November 15-19, 2021 as American Education Week in Transylvania County.
