Staff District Kick-Off 2022-2023
For the first time in many years, Transylvania County Schools held a “Back to School” Staff Kick-Off for the 2022-2023 school year. The Kick-Off took place on August 23 from 8am to 11am at Brevard High School. It included breakfast, games, prizes, and keynote speaker Jennifer Pharr Davis.* Bus transportation from RHS to BHS was provided for staff members working in the Rosman area.
*Jennifer Pharr Davis is a hiker, author, speaker and National Geographic Adventurer of the Year who has covered over 14,000 miles of long distance trails on six different continents. In 2011, she hiked the 2,185-mile Appalachian Trail in 46 days, 11 hours, and 20 minutes, maintaining a remarkable average of 47 miles per day. By doing so, she claimed the overall (male or female) fastest known time on the “A.T.” and became the first woman to set the mark. Born in Hendersonville, Jennifer lives in Asheville with her husband and children and is the owner of Blue Ridge Hiking Company, a premiere guide service for hikers of all ages, genders, and ability levels.
RHS Teacher Joins NCDPI Science Standards Team
Congratulations to Rosman High School science teacher Sarah Reid for being selected as a member of the Standards Writing Team for the North Carolina Science Standard Course of Study. She had one of the strongest applications, according to the Section Chief at DPI. We are very proud of Ms. Reid for this achievement and cannot think of a better representative for Transylvania County Schools.
