The school was located on South Broad Street from 1925 until the 1959–60 school year, when the campus on Country Club Road opened.^[3][4] Until court-ordered desegregation began in 1963, Brevard High was white, and black students attended a school in Hendersonville.^[5][6]

Sports include basketball, cross-country, golf, football, soccer, track, volleyball, and wrestling.^[7] The football team has won the state championship twice. In 1963, a racially integrated team played Reidsville High School to a 0–0 draw in the state AAA championship; the teams were declared co-champions and after winning a coin toss, Brevard took the trophy.^[8][9] In 1982 Brevard won for the second time after going undefeated.^[10][11]
