ii. Brevard High School Junior Keaton Campbell

Congratulations go out to Brevard High School Junior Keaton Campbell for, once again, becoming a State Champion.  At the February 11th and 12th NCSHAA Indoor Track State Championship meet, Keaton captured the state championship in the 1600M, and he finished State Runner-Up in the 3200M.  As you may recall, we previously recognized Keaton at our December meeting for becoming the 4A Cross Country State Champion.  We are very proud of the legacy Keaton has already built at BHS, and we are looking forward to his future accomplishments.

iii. TCS School Counselors and Social Workers

February 2nd – 6th, 2026, was National School Counseling Week, and March 1st – 7th will be National School Social Work Week 2026.  These annual, week-long celebrations are designed to recognize school counselors and social workers for their critical roles in supporting students by providing services such as counseling, health assessments, and crisis intervention.  Counselors and social workers help students to address personal challenges, and they teach students to build resilience, resulting in academic, personal, and social success.  They create nurturing environments in which students feel supported and empowered, enabling them to develop the skills and confidence necessary to overcome obstacles and to thrive in school and beyond.
