January news from BFHS

Warm Holiday Greetings from Bonners Ferry High School. I would like to take this opportunity to reflect and share. Any position in education comes with its own unique amount of adversity, and my position as Principal at BFHS is no different. However, I can’t quantify the amount of support, feedback, and concern I have been given from this community in a respectful and appropriate manner. My hat is off to the students, teachers, parents, and community members for trusting me to hear them and being patient enough to allow me to “get it right.” We have made some improvements to the security of our building with some serious support from our Superintendent, Gary Pflueger, and our School Board Trustees.
