Announcements:

Welcome to Boyertown Area Senior High School (BASH)! We are truly excited for another great year at BASH. It is with distinct pleasure that I continue to be provided with this opportunity to serve as your principal.

As stakeholders of the school community, we encourage your involvement which we believe will increase the likelihood of success for all of our students beyond their high school years. We strongly believe that it does take a community to raise a child. We believe in hiring and retaining people who care and continue to have the best interest of all students in mind. We welcome suggestions which will enhance the learning for all of our students.

We continue to work to provide students with many educational opportunities to build strong relationships with all stakeholders. We continue to work hard to meet the needs of all of our students. We believe in developing successful young men and women to become life-long learners in a 21st Century global economy.

One of the ways we encourage you to stay connected is to utilize the Home Access Center (HAC), which allows parents/guardians to view their child(ren)’s grades and assignments via the internet.

Parents will receive additional information on various presentations and evening programs, via mailings, that will provide important information regarding their child(ren)’s education, career planning, and safety. We encourage the use of the BASH website link, http://www.boyertownasd.org/our-schools/senior-high/index.aspx where we will post current mailings.

The BASH BEAR Essentials weekly e-newsletter mailing is another resource to find pertinent information regarding our school. The following link, http://www.boyertownasd.org/pages/email-signup.aspx, will allow you to sign up as an active member of the listserv for this e-newsletter mailing.

We strongly believe that these efforts promote greater school-to-home communication to ensure our students and parents/guardians are informed and aware of our many excellent programs.

I would like to leave you with a thought provoking quote from Vince Lombardi which I believe defines our role as a school… “Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. We think we can accomplish anything if we’re willing to pay the price.”

Please do not hesitate to contact my office should you have any questions or concerns relating to safety or the programs offered at BASH.

Thank you.
