Davidson River School will host a Fall Festival on Wednesday, Oct. 28, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on the school campus. The evening of games and activities will raise money for prom and other school events.
Activities include duck bobbing, face painting, pumpkin bowling, a candy corn ring toss, haunted hallways, and a photo booth, along with other fall favorites.
Tickets are $8 when purchased in advance and $10 at the event.
Families and friends are invited to enjoy a fun fall evening together while supporting Davidson River School students.
For more than 20 years, Davidson River School has served high school students in Transylvania County with an alternative and individualized approach through creative, flexible educational environments and delivery methods for academic growth without compromising core curriculum, testing, and standards held by the other public high schools.
Earlier this month, representatives from Davidson River School and Brevard High School met with architects tasked with designing a new combined facility for students from both local public institutions at the current high school campus on Country Club Road.
The meetings at both public institutions were early steps in an ongoing project made possible by a $62 million needs-based construction grant from the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction which will relocate students from the Davidson River alternative school to the Brevard High campus while constructing a new 70,000-square-foot career and technical education facility.
Construction of the combined facility is scheduled to start in June 2027 and is expected to take two years to complete. This work is separate from the recent school bond improvements that are an ongoing collaboration between Transylvania County government and the school district.
