REPORT FROM
The
Transylvania County School System
A Weekly Column By - Richard Voso
There are times when it
seems right to sit back and
reflect, to take stock, before
proceeding on. This time of
year appears to be the right
time for a pause; maybe its
the rain, or the fact that spring
is just around the comer with
its burst of vigorous activity.
Whatever the cause, a look
back is in order before moving
on.
The past few weeks’ ac
tivities in our schools give a
good indication of the course
we are taking. Much has taken
place,most of it future
oriented.
Open house was held at the
new Brevard Elementary and
the rew Brevard Middle
Schools. Thousands of area
residents had the opportunity
to tour these schools and see
for themselves the facilities
the youth of our county will be
using for the next 20, 30 or
more years.
Visitors to these buildings,
and the new Rosman
Elementary building, saw
evidence of the work
being done by dedicated staff
members as well as the in
structional materials and
equipment provided by the
Board of Education.
The construction of the new
high school building at
Rosman and the new
vocational building at
Brevard High again indicates
a committment to the future.
Recent newspaper articles
have publicized the pursuit of
excellence by school staff and
students; a drama group won
first prize in regional com
petition, vocational students
took numerous prizes in
district competition and
athletes competed and won in
regional tournaments.
At the present time math
matic students are preparing
for competition at Western
Carolina University while
musicians are putting the
finishing touches on per
formances for concert band
and choral group competition.
Last week an ad hoc com
mittee of citizens met to in
form school authoritiees of
their cjncerns about the
schools. The information
gathered at this meeting will
become the basis of a widely
circulated community
questionnaire.
Upon reflection, our schools
seem to be working hard to
prepare students for their
future roles in society. A key
aspect of the preparation
includes the development of a
goal of excellence in per
formance in a competive
world.

porting the instructional
program through the
provision of up to date
facilities and equipment. And
the schools are listening to .‘he
community.
It will soon be time again to
move on and plan the business
of educating the youth of our
county in the years to come.
The chances are that the
planning will be better
because we took time to stop;
time to see what we have done
and time to talk with the
community we serve.
