POST OF THE WEEK: 🎓🏅 BCS Celebrates 2026 Top Scholars
After leading the climb through their high school years, the 2026 BCS Top Scholars gathered to reflect on their achievements, and prepare to conquer future challenges.
The BCS Top Scholar Celebration Thursday at Biltmore Church honored seniors from across the school system who’ve worked throughout high school to achieve and maintain the highest grade point averages.
This year’s special guest speaker was Kinsley Kelly, a 2017 Top Scholar from A.C. Reynolds High School. During her time as a student, she was active in the Environmental Science Club and Animal Science classes. She went on to receive undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Tennessee, and now provides livestock nutritional consultation for the Purina Corporation. Watch her keynote address. |

What an AMAZING Literacy Day at HVE! 📚✈️
Students and staff celebrated all things reading and literacy with a day full of fun activities including the Scholastic Book Fair, dressing up as vocabulary words, Bingo in the cafeteria, reading with Ms. Haney and Leroy, and wonderful performances from our 4th graders!
We also loved welcoming Enka High School students who spent time reading to classes and delivering bagged lunches so students could enjoy lunch outside together. The excitement continued with our Word Parade and ended with one of the sweetest moments of the day — reading with parents and loved ones. ❤️
It was such a special day celebrating our students’ hard work and growth this year. Thank you to everyone who helped make Literacy Day such a memorable experience! Go Jets! ✈️💙📚
