Dear BHS Community,
As we step into this new school year, my heart is filled with immense pride and optimism. Together, we are embarking on another chapter in the remarkable journey of BHS—a community defined by its dedication, resilience, and unwavering commitment to providing our students with the very best.
BHS has a rich legacy of innovation, always striving to meet the evolving needs of our students. Our foundation is built on a deep well of joy, dedication, and a passion for insightful, forward-thinking perspectives. As we move forward, our commitment to a culturally relevant and responsive IB curriculum, inquiry-based learning, and equity remains steadfast. I am energized by our shared vision for equity, social justice, and anti-racist work. Together, we will strengthen this commitment and ensure that every student feels seen, heard, and valued.
This year, our instructional focus will be to deepen our understanding of our students—their intellect, critical thinking, identity, and unique skills. By planning intentional student groups and truly listening to their voices, we will create an environment where our students are not only supported but are also challenged and inspired to reach their fullest potential.
In the months ahead, we will continue to build a supportive and trusting environment for everyone—students, families, and staff alike.. We are also committed to expanding teacher leadership, fostering genuine partnerships with BHS families, and building on the positive momentum of last year’s achievements.
The milestones we’ve reached together have laid a strong foundation for the work ahead. Our ongoing efforts are focused on bringing stability, joy, and strength to our beloved community.
BHS is not just a school—it’s a home. It’s a place where we come together, not just to work, but to inspire, challenge, and uplift one another. It is a profound privilege to nurture and protect the unique strengths that make our community so special. Your inspiration, critical thinking, joy, and laughter remind me every day that there is no place I’d rather be.
Thank you for your continued support and dedication. Together, we will continue to make a positive and lasting impact on the lives of our students and the entire BHS community.
With deep gratitude,
Samantha Schmoeger
Principal
