Dear Students, Parents, Staff, and Community Members,

I am deeply grateful to Dr. Matt Stover and the Catawba County School Board for entrusting me with the opportunity to serve the Bunker Hill High School community. It is truly an honor and a privilege to join you as a partner in education and a champion for our students at BHHS.

At Bunker Hill, every member of our school community is important, valued, and essential to our collective success. The tradition of excellence that defines BHHS has been built by professionals who lead with kindness, selflessness, service, and unwavering integrity—and I am committed to upholding and advancing that legacy.

While we may not control the circumstances we face, we are always responsible for how we respond. Let us move forward together with purpose and passion. Join us in being champions for our students and in proudly carrying the banner for BHHS!
