In high school, I had a typical experience, navigating through classes, extracurricular activities, and friendships. I found my groove in subjects like math and science while also exploring interests in music and sports. Balancing academics with social life taught me time management and resilience. There were ups and downs, successes, and challenges, but overall, it was a formative period of growth and self-discovery. High school provided a foundation for my future endeavors, shaping my interests and aspirations. Though it may not have been extraordinary, it was a meaningful chapter in my life journey.

I love this county! Everyone here is so kind and we are all like one big family even with the common rivalry between Rosman and Brevard, but of course, that is expected in a small town! Many students graduating from this county go on to do great things or give back to our community in some way. The athletic programs are, for the most part, really good and have brought home quite a few conference championships!

A beautiful thing about Transylvania County Schools is how diverse the students and staff are. The diversity of students and staff guarantees that every student will find their niche and be welcomed into it. The fault of the school district though is the strong personal beliefs students and staff have that influence their opinion on different situations.
