Just a quick market update snapshot. The average single-family home price in Henderson County $535,000 is the average single-family home price in Henderson County. We've had a 7% appreciation. And you might say, how is that possible with these interest rates? Well, interest rates even though they're in the 6-7 range. It's because almost 40% of our sales in Henderson County are cash. The demand is still high and that's in light of these low inventory levels. We have less than 300 homes in the market. So, again, if you're thinking about buying, thinking about selling, give us a call at 828-393-0134.

Speaker 1: 2:57

Henderson county education history initiative was set up in 2011. Uh, you know, and it was a number of support from several players, including the henderson county school board, henderson county education foundation, the board of commissioners, a number of support from several players, including the Henderson County School Board, Henderson County Education Foundation, the Board of Commissioners and, specifically, the initiative, you know, Chairman Rick Wood. I mean they put this initiative together to bring awareness of the history and the incredible you know the work that our schools are doing, the incredible history that our schools have and the people that have come through the systems. I mean Henderson County schools are incredible. I mean at one point I know it was ranked in the top five. I mean Henderson County is ranked up there in North Carolina.

Speaker 3: 4:19

And I don't have data on that. I just know I spent a lot of time. I was a college basketball coach for 12 years, so spent a lot of time in high schools in Florida, georgia, south Carolina and North Carolina, and I know this. Henderson County is different. Henderson County Public Schools is just a very different place in a great way just taking care of their people, the families. It really truly is a family-serving community.

Speaker 1: 4:44

Yeah, and it's something we're incredibly proud of. And it's so funny a lot of people that move here from other areas. They're like what's the private public school situation? Our public schools are top-shelf. You are proud and the work that our public schools here do for our community is incredible. You come from other communities where, oh, my kids are going to private schools. No, our kids here go to our public schools because they're that good, no question.

Speaker 3: 5:15

I think that is really well said to where it is so hard to find a public school, just in the Southeast or in America really, where you can get the type of control and safety that our schools can provide.

Speaker 1: 5:31

Yeah, and education, I mean, it's incredible all of these things. So we're going to have a fun conversation this morning, but specifically, we want to make sure our listeners know about a special ceremony, a ribbon cutting. We want to make sure our listeners know about a special ceremony, a ribbon cutting, this Sunday, 2 to 4, at East. Again, this is sponsored by the Henderson County Education History Initiative and there's a number of special guests coming out. But just this ribbon cutting for this marker, and there's been some other schools that have already had this happen. Is that right? Yes, that's correct.

Speaker 4: 6:07

Let me have you speak into the mic. Yes, correct, west Henderson has held theirs. The initiative is for all the high schools to eventually have this happen, and East Henderson history is in Dana High School and Flat Rock High School, so our marker will commemorate the students and teachers there. So it's about the history of that community and East Henderson High School. So we're very excited to recognize our past and our future.

Speaker 1: 6:38

Well, because East Henderson was built in 1960, and it was a combination of these other high schools, right, yes, and again for the future of Henderson County schools. I mean, they saw the growth, they saw the need. And then the 60s Now, coach Brackett and Mr Scott, you guys are alumni from East.

Speaker 2: 7:00

Yes, so I graduated in 2010.

Speaker 1: 7:03

And I was 1995., Incredible, and did either of you ever see yourselves coming back and serving at East specifically?

Speaker 2: 7:15

For me and I mentioned this in my interview it's kind of my dream job and I've always wanted to come home. So when that opportunity came, it was cool, it was very surreal for me. Cool, it's real. It was very surreal for me. Um, and it, it, it's been fun, for sure and you.

Speaker 1: 7:30

Actually, we were talking before we got on the air.

Speaker 3: 7:32

Uh, brandon, that one of your classmates was a former east principal yeah, carl taylor, who I took over for, uh, we were in sixth grade at Dana Elementary together and then, of course, through Flat Rock and we graduated in 95, but we had a really good group, and not just our group, but you know the couple years that we had before those juniors and seniors and then the kids after us. We had a great time. We had a great group of students and and our faculty was fantastic as well that's incredible.

Speaker 1: 8:10

And then, when did you become the principal at east?

Speaker 3: 8:12

I became the principal in january of 2021. Um, and mine was a little different. My path, you know, we we moved here from nebraska when I in in 1978, when I was two years old, and East Henderson is just so personal to me just because my dad started working at GE and the community really kind of adopted us and so many of my memories from childhood are at East Henderson, at events, youth football, and I don't know where I would be or my family would be without East Henderson and the community.

Speaker 1: 8:51

I mean talk about full circle. I always like to ask this question who had an impact on you to get into education? I mean, you said East was literally part of your story from the beginning.

Speaker 3: 9:02

My dad and John Johnston. Coach Johnston was my basketball coach for five years in a row eighth grade, ninth grade. Then he moved to the high school with me the same year 10th, 11th and 12th grade and we had a really special relationship. He was a great mentor and, honestly, I knew I wanted to get into coaching and teaching, probably since I was 10 years old Because of John Johnson. Yeah, he had a really great impact and we went so far back to two years old. His mom used to babysit me when.

Speaker 3: 9:36

I was like two or three years old. So yeah, amazing impact.

Speaker 1: 9:39

I mean, and I'm grateful to say what a special human being and we've actually had him here as our hometown hero, honoring him. What an incredible person.

Speaker 3: 9:49

It would be hard to find a better human being than Coach Johnston. He just loves kids, natural educator, just so, caring, compassionate, but always had a standard that he held kids accountable to, compassionate, but always, you know, had a standard that he held kids accountable to. And, um, you know, I I said the year he retired it's impossible to really think about east henderson high school without certainly athletics without john john right, incredible.

Speaker 1: 10:16

and you guys again the perspective of being students, no, and then again full circle. You know coach bracket, you're the football coach and teacher. And then then Principal Scott Again, it's amazing to hear these stories and this is part of the legacy of East. Now we have Margaret Stone with us here as well, and I'm grateful to have this conversation. You were a teacher for a number of years.

Speaker 3: 10:40

She's a legend at East Henderson High School.

Speaker 4: 10:43

It might not be a good legend.

Speaker 1: 10:46

Now, where are you from originally?

Speaker 4: 10:47

I'm from a little town called North Wilkesboro, North Carolina.

Speaker 1: 10:51

Wilkesboro yes, home of Merlefest.

Speaker 4: 10:53

Yes, it is, and it's next weekend.

Speaker 1: 10:55

That's right.

Speaker 4: 10:56

So Amy Pace. Dr Amy Pace was assistant or associate superintendent and she hired me over the phone really the dance teacher that was back at the basic education plan, and that's one thing that Henderson County has done an excellent job of keeping the arts um forever, um each high school. The commitment to that is a wonderful arts program and we're very blessed to have that in Western North Carolina. So I started in 1988 and finished my career in 2018.

Speaker 1: 11:33

Recently retired.

Speaker 4: 11:35

Right before COVID, but I had a wonderful. That's incredible.

Speaker 1: 11:39

How many years was that at East? Wait was your entire teaching career at East. Yes, it was. Where did you come out of school and what was your degree and background as?

Speaker 4: 11:48

My degree is a BFA in dance from East Carolina, and I got my teaching certificate at UNC Charlotte and that's how Amy Pace found me from UNC Charlotte. So but yeah, I've. I had a fabulous time at East High. I saw a lot of students come through, including these two guys.

Speaker 1: 12:08

Next, to me, isn't that? So I mean full circle, yeah so, and I love Hendersonville.

Speaker 3: 12:14

And.

Speaker 4: 12:14

I never want to leave Hendersonville. My child came through East and she had a great education.

Speaker 1: 12:22

I got to ask the same question who had an impact on you to be a teacher?

Speaker 4: 12:26

Well, my father was the chairman of the school board for in. Wilkes County and my mom was very instrumental, but probably my music teacher, sarah McCall. She was unbelievable, she had a passion for teaching and of course, my dance teacher, but that was a private situation right, I mean.

Speaker 1: 12:46

The impact of teachers on students is is truly life-changing, like the biggest influence outside of their parents.

Speaker 3: 12:55

Right, it's, it's the teachers in their lives and that's the beauty of education, in my opinion it is transformational and you know so many people in education typically had really good experiences, but then you learn like it's an imperfect art, because there are students who have negative, uh experiences. So that's always the goal, you know. Know, I've been an educator in a lot of different ways for 25 years and that's one of the greatest things is the challenge, like every day is new. It doesn't matter how many skills you have. It's challenging every day. But at the end of the day, that opportunity to change somebody's life, I I just don't think you can put a price tag on it's powerful, it is very powerful and and, and so this event on sunday is meant to.

Speaker 1: 13:42

I mean, why is this event so important?

Speaker 3: 13:44

and I'll let them speak to that. From my perspective, it's just to celebrate and honor um the legacy of east henderson high school and the people that have played a part in.

Speaker 2: 13:54

Yeah, I think for me it, for me it's you know our community and that's one thing that I love about our community is we have we're very tight-nitched but also the pride in our school, the alumni. I have. That's one thing for us just to showcase and bring everybody together. You know, instead of just hey, I see you at Ingalls. Hey, you're a classmate. You know bringing of just hey, I see you at Ingalls, hey, you're a classmate. You know, bringing everybody into one space and one event and just celebrating East High. For me I think it's a cool opportunity.

Speaker 4: 14:21

I think, having taught there 29 years seeing the students become, because I also taught at Flat Rock, so I've seen these children since they were in sixth grade to see what they've become um, and even the ones that are far away japan I mean all over the world all over the world have contacted us and donated money because they the impact that they had, that is and we do have some former students coming well, you have a special guest right that's officiating the ceremony, is that right?

Speaker 4: 14:58

I don't know that she's officiating, she's participating in it she's participating.

Speaker 1: 15:03

And special guest Allison James Rushing.

Speaker 4: 15:06

Jones Jones, allison Jones Rushing.

Speaker 1: 15:09

Incredible.

Speaker 4: 15:20

She actually clerked under Superior Supreme Court Judge Thomas, which is incredible and then she had a law practice and then she was appointed to be the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. So she is back in this area as a judge.

Speaker 1: 15:33

That's amazing and an East Henderson graduate circuit. So she is back in this area.

Speaker 4: 15:36

that's amazing and an east henderson uh graduate and she was an amazing student and I cannot wait to see her again, that's very special and, again, I know there's many stories like that of your alumni that have gone on to accomplish incredible things yes, and the teachers that they've become right the judges, the people that I know that are dancing all over the world. We have a very diverse group of alumni that are impacting the world, the United States, but mostly our community. So we're excited.

Speaker 1: 16:08

Yeah, giving back in to our local community. Yes, it's amazing. So it's a celebration this Sunday two to four ribbon-cutting sponsored by the Henderson County Education Historic Initiative. It's incredible. I encourage people to come out. You said you have all the annuals. I mean, did you guys actually? I mean you have all of them.

Speaker 2: 16:29

Yeah, so the game plan for that day is we're going to have about a 45-minute ceremony in the auditorium just honoring former superintendents, former principals, current principals, alumni. I believe we're also going to honor the first graduating class from East High. We still have a few remaining survivors from that class. I mean that's incredible. It is pretty cool. So we're going to honor those that first 45 minutes and then, once that's adjourned, we'll do the ribbon cutting and then we're going to open up campus and let people walk the halls, that's special and it's kind of cool.

Speaker 2: 17:04

We met last week and it didn't click to me. There's some people from the class of 62, 63 that walk those halls but haven't seen things that I've seen that are new to them. Right, it's just an everyday thing for us. But we're also going to open up the old gym and it's going to be like a museum type.

Speaker 2: 17:22

So we have Letterman jacket from each decade we're going to have displayed no way, and annuals from each year starting from 1960 to 61, displayed out in the old gym and some memorabilia. I think there was Mr Taylor said there was like an old prom ticket. I mean, just little things like that that are going to be out just for display for people to see and just bring back memories, bring back conversations, and then we have some current student volunteers to kind of be those guides.

Speaker 1: 17:47

That's awesome.

Speaker 3: 17:48

Yeah, to connect those decades really.

Speaker 1: 17:51

That's amazing. When you look at at the past, it also causes you to look at the future. Where do you guys see the future of east?

Speaker 3: 17:58

uh, that's a great question, um, just to me, part of my, I guess, vision is to honor that past, um, and really, our roadmap. We have a roadmap, we have a vision and it really is the model of distributive leadership with transformational leaders, and we are so passionate and intentional about those connecting connecting with students, with the arts, with the athletics, because, at the end of the day and our superintendent says it all the time education is a people business and typically, whether you're in math class, dance class or on the football field, who that adult is leading that classroom, that team, um, that group of young people is going to dictate how they experience it. And then what they take, because, again, what you, what those kids take from what our adults are giving them, is the multiplication of what we're talking about into our community, into north carolina and again across the world. So, just really trying to take each day as it comes and do our best to transform somebody's life and it is life-changing, yeah, and the impact that you got in your the teachers are having.

Speaker 1: 19:14

And I know there's a lot of conversations about how challenging education is, but, again, what you focus on expands and it's challenging but you can't lose sight of the bigger picture and the positives that are happening in schools and I'm a little different too, but I've always looked at that a little different because the more challenging it is is more opportunity. There's more opportunity.

Speaker 3: 19:37

It's more opportunity to be a change agent in someone's life and, at the end of the day, kids haven't changed. The environments have changed and adults we've changed, but at the end of the day, kids are kids. We've changed, but at the end of the day, kids are kids and again they're dealing with different adversities, different challenges, but it's just a great opportunity to be an educator right now, in my opinion.

Speaker 1: 20:04

Yeah, I agree, and our community I mean and I would put educators also in the same category I mean civil servants, just like our law enforcement. Our community is so supportive of law enforcement. Our community is also so supportive of our teachers, and I know that comes from the top down. It also comes from our community, and it has to.

Speaker 3: 20:25

And I think our community, in particular Henderson County, has a great understanding of the power of education. Because once you have that community support of how powerful education can be, well, now it's going to trickle, because it can't just be in a vacuum, it can't just be the work happening at school, it's those conversations at home, those conversations at the field, those conversations, uh, in the theater, um, because it all plays a part and it's connecting and and reaching people where they're at and helping these kids through whatever their challenges are.

Speaker 1: 20:58

Yes, sir, it's amazing. And then I know sports had a big impact on you. You were in coaching before and now you're coaching here at East. The impact that sports, again in the context of the education, has that impact.

Speaker 2: 21:13

Yeah, it's almost like you know I preach to our kids all the time. You know we're students first, athletes second. That's the beauty of being a student athlete. We're not an athlete student and using that, as almost you know, a way to encourage these kids to do the right thing in the building and be the advocates and be in the standard in the building. You know, with grades, with academics, all that.

Speaker 1: 21:34

It's amazing, margaret, again, your time at East. You chose, obviously. You chose because, I mean you were so committed to staying. I mean you stayed in at the same school. That's incredible Again, having that long career in one school. I mean it speaks to the school too, right. Like you know, they say people don't leave jobs, they leave managers, and the fact is you were there and that speaks to the leadership there.

Speaker 4: 22:01

We had wonderful leaders, wonderful fellow teachers and I found being an arts teacher. There was a great community from high school to high school.

Speaker 1: 22:14

Like collaboration between an arts teacher there was a great community from high school to high school and like collaboration between between the schools and the camp.

Speaker 4: 22:18

You know the people at the county office allowed us to support so.

Speaker 4: 22:24

But east high will always be special to me and one thing that I think I hope that everybody that is not a product of Henderson County Schools, I hope they realize how wonderful each of our schools are and that there are fabulous teachers at every school, fabulous students, and if they would spend a little time in our schools they would have such a connection and I think Well, I know the communities and there's even a volunteer aspect of our public schools right when people come in and help like give back.

Speaker 1: 23:04

You know you think about the elementary schools and people that go in and read the kids, and I mean our community's committed to giving back.

Speaker 4: 23:11

I think that's wonderful and that's where I am right now. Are you volunteering now? Not as much as I should, but I do try to give back to this community. Of course, I stepped away from a while from East, but I've been there a lot this year.

Speaker 1: 23:28

That is awesome and of course, the three of you are biased to East. I mean that's your home and there's healthy pride and competition for high schools. I always say people are like what are your high schools? I mean I always say people are like what are your high schools? And I'm like, well, we have these really creative names east, north, uh, west and in hendersonville.

Speaker 2: 23:50

But like there's a healthy competition between the four high schools, yeah, and for so for me, and going in and taking over the program I, I didn't. I didn't feel a sense of rivalry in in our school and so one of the number one things in our field house is we don't say the H word, so you'll never hear me call the school that's near 7th Avenue by its name.

Speaker 2: 24:11

I always call them the Bearcats, and so it's actually funny. I'll tell you a story. So last week I went to the middle school just to kind of promote and get kids signed up, and I told them that, and so they got to the point where they were watching each other say the h word and if you say the h word it's five push-ups there you go on the spot, and so so it was kind of funny. Mr lancaster came in and you know he he mentioned it and the kids were like oh coach.

Speaker 2: 24:32

He said the h word, you know, and so mr lancaster's down there doing push-ups. That's kind of the culture I want.

Speaker 1: 24:36

Sure still is, you know, some kind of rivalry yeah, it's healthy, it's healthy's collaborative, it's healthy, it's fun, yes, I mean. And again, it promotes again participation in these kids and again it's fun. You run into, you know, and I know the kids know each other from each of the schools, so they're running into each other at the grocery store and, like you know, shoving elbows.

Speaker 2: 24:59

And you'll see on your son's packet with the summer. I have the schedule. I have everybody's first name in school and it says the Bearcats. Because it's just part of my standard, we don't mention them.

Speaker 1: 25:09

And so I love it Again, the culture that you guys have created.

Speaker 3: 25:14

I mean, that's the underlying current of what's going on at East Well, the culture is really the soil and when you think about farming in that sense and that's what we want to do every day and be so intentional with each other, being connected as the adults, Because the better our culture is, the more healthy our culture is, the better we can serve our students, family and community yeah, and the community.

Speaker 1: 25:40

I mean it is so connected. I mean the children that you guys are serving then go on to work in our community and again, it's multiple generations, absolutely. And the compounding effect. Yeah, I mean again. Our community is incredible. I tell people all the time I'm biased. I think we live in one of the most amazing places in the world, and it's the people.

Speaker 3: 26:00

The housing market says that also.

Speaker 1: 26:02

Yeah, I mean it's the people. The housing market says that also. Yeah. I mean yeah, yeah, it's true. I mean the demand. I mean people are moving here. North carolina is in one of the top five of the united states of incoming migration. I mean there's this mass migration out of all these other states. I mean like, and you know and it's, and there's a. There's two sides of the coin, you know, with you know it's, it's there's challenges. With housing prices being $535 right now. There's just challenges. But it also speaks to the demand. People are moving here because it's contagious. They see how people are, they see the kindness, they see the generosity. People want to be a part of this.

Speaker 3: 26:36

It is a very unique and amazing community. And again I go back and because I didn't once. Once I moved to Florida in 2000. I was teaching and coaching down there and then I got the head job at Limestone University in Gaffney. I didn't think I would ever be back here and now that I am, it just it is truly so special. And again I want to be the principal at East for a very, very long time and give back, because again the East Henderson High School community has given me and my family so much.

Speaker 1: 27:11

It's incredible. Well, I'm so thankful for all three of you and the work you've done in our community. Thank you for giving back to our kids. I mean, I'm personally impacted on how you guys take care of and minister and that's an interesting word that you guys are serving our kids and you're serving our kids, and my son personally is impacted by that. So I'm thankful for that and thankful for how you guys show up every day. You know the unsung heroes I mean, like in our community, our teachers and our educators.

Speaker 3: 27:37

Teachers, without a doubt, absolutely amazing and so this sunday again.

Speaker 1: 27:43

So grateful for the three of you coming today to spread the good news and share what's going on. And there's again back to that healthy competition. We want to see a great turnout on Sunday. This Sunday two to four Is there like a Facebook post? Is there other information that people can? Maybe you guys can put something up on the East Facebook page.

Hey guys, it's Lucy Miller George, your favorite nine-year-old and I'm here to talk about the George Real Estate Group. Are you ready to sell your home and move on to bigger and better things? Well, let me tell you my family knows a thing or two about selling houses. We have the experience of helping over 1,300 families and, let's be real, selling your home is a big deal, but with our expert guidance and our terrible dad jokes and Lucy jokes we will make the process as easy and painless as possible.
