Parents, grandparents, and volunteers participate in the classrooms and media centers on a weekly basis. In addition, we have many guest speakers who give their time on other occasions. This phenomenal level of community support attests to how positively Transylvania County citizens view our schools as a community. We encourage parent participation in the classroom as teaching partners and value the breadth and scope of our parent support, from the arts to the sciences, to providing valuable links with the business community. Caring for others is a focus of community programs such as the weekly visit to the Brian Center by the Brevard Elementary Chorus where they sing for and with residents.
All schools have specific programs with links to the community.
One only has to visit any school in the district to see this involvement. All Transylvania County Schools welcome parents and volunteers in many areas. The annual Science Fair includes community members who lend their expertise to the judging of school and district competitions. Business partnerships support student internships and career awareness. Communities in Schools of Transylvania County, Inc. continues to add to an already impressive list of collaborations with Transylvania County Schools.
