Brevard High School is a public high school in Brevard, North Carolina, one of three in the Transylvania County Schools district. In the 2012–13 school year, it had an enrollment of 723.[1]

The school was located on South Broad Street from 1925 until the 1959–60 school year, when the campus on Country Club Road opened.[2][3] Until court-ordered desegregation began in 1963, Brevard High was white, and black students attended a school in Hendersonville.[4][5]

Athletics

The school's teams are the Blue Devils. Sports include basketball, cross-country, golf, football, soccer, track, volleyball, and wrestling.[6] The football team won the state championship in 1982, when they went undefeated.[7][8]

Brevard has had a longstanding athletic rivalry with the Hendersonville High School Bearcats;[9][10] incidents with unruly spectators led in 1963 to a ban on competitions between the two teams without special permission.[11][12]
