Principal Kyle Lewis, guidance counselors Cameron Clark and Carrissa Burns, and early college teachers Tuesday Guernsey, Seth Caudill, and Erik Hart recently represented HHS at the University of Indianapolis Center of Excellence in Leadership of Learning (CELL).
CELL recognizes and endorses Early College High Schools through a rigorous evaluation process built around eight core principles of excellence. Henryville’s team is dedicated to removing academic, financial, and psychological barriers that can stand between students and college success—helping them earn college credit while in high school, save on tuition, and gain confidence as they take their next steps after graduation.
We’re proud of the continued work to expand opportunities for Henryville students and to make college dreams a reality! 🎓🌟
🔎 Each week, a central office committee reviews nominations and selects one educator from a rotating school (BES, HES, BHS, HHS). Winners receive a $50 Amazon gift card courtesy of the Kolton Kaiser Foundation. The nominator’s identity is revealed to the honoree on announcement day to keep the fun and suspense.
This week, the BHSC Teacher Feature Friday spotlights Henryville Elementary School!
Mrs. Janaea Campbell, HES, First Grade Teacher
Experience: 3rd year at BHSC, 19 years overall
College/University: IUS
Fun fact: Mrs. Campbell is the mother of four awesome kiddos who are all students at Henryville
"I aim to create a classroom that feels warm, safe, structured, and welcoming—where students are encouraged to do their best and know that they’re capable of growth. I want each child to build confidence, feel a sense of belonging, and see the value they bring to our classroom and community. Above all, I believe every student should leave our school with strong reading skills because being able to read well opens the door to lifelong learning and success. I am so proud of the teachers I work with each day. We share our struggles and work to provide solutions to help our students."
Mrs. Campbell was nominated by Grady's family, who wrote, "My son’s confidence in reading has changed so much since he has started first grade. He has always loved listening to me read, but now he’s excited to read to me. He’s also more motivated than ever to practice his sight words each night! We just love Mrs. Campbell."
Congratulations, Mrs. Campbell! BHSC celebrates you and the difference you make!

This week is our FIRST ever BHSC Teacher Feature!
Miss Ashley Zink, BES, Fourth Grade Teacher
Experience: 5th year teaching (all at BES)
College/University: IUS for undergrad and currently taking graduate classes, as well
Fun fact: Miss Zink didn't decide she wanted to be a teacher until she was close to graduating high school
"The best part of my job is getting to build relationships with my students. My goal every year is to be a person that students can respect, learn from, and feel safe around. I am proud every time I get through to a student who may have some emotional walls up. I know these are the students who need me the most, so I have to work incredibly hard to be a good influence in their lives and build a meaningful relationship with them."
Miss Zink was nominated by parent Laura Dabney, who wrote, "Over the years, I’ve consistently seen Ms. Zink’s classes demonstrate so much heart. They cheer and support each other, check in on each other, take care of each other, are happy, kind, aware and inclusive. This isn’t a group within her classes, it’s her entire class. Over multiple years. So much love, heart, guidance, support and encouragement from Ms. Zink has created an amazing safe place of learning over the years. She is such an amazing and deserving 4th grade teacher."
Congratulations, Miss Zink! BHSC is proud to call you one of our own!
Since earning our Early College endorsement last year, our HHS team was invited to the Early College Collective at the University of Indianapolis. During the event, our team was recognized and presented with a banner—photos coming soon!
As you may remember, CELL visited Henryville last year and was especially impressed with our Relearn & Reassessment policy. Our dual-credit partner, Ivy Tech, is fully supportive of this approach, and CELL invited Mrs. Tuesday Guernsey to share our story at the event.
In front of ~300 attendees, Mrs. Guernsey did a fantastic job representing Henryville—highlighting how the policy supports students as they take on college-level work. Like any new initiative, we’re still refining a few details, but overall it’s been a strong support system for our dual-credit students.
Huge thanks to CELL, the University of Indianapolis, Ivy Tech, and our amazing teachers and students who make this work possible. 💛🖤
BHSC Teacher Feature's First Recipient Announced Friday, October 3rd!
Each week, a central office committee reviews nominations and selects one educator from a rotating school (BES, HES, BHS, HHS). Winners receive a $50 Amazon gift card, courtesy of the Kolton Kaiser Foundation. The nominator's identify is revealed to the honoree on announcement day to maintain a little suspense!
October's winners for each building have been selected, but there's time to honor a BHSC teacher whose work positively impacted your child by responding to the BHSC Teacher Feature Friday form!
We're so excited to partner with the Kolton Kaiser Foundation to do this weekly throughout the 25-26 school year. Get ready to meet some fantastic teachers from every building!
Our area Red Cross account manager, Scott Chandler, sent big praise after Friday’s on-campus blood drive:
“Our goal is to maintain an operating efficiency of 95%. That means if our target is 20 units, we aim to collect at least 19. Of course, we always strive for 100%. Your drive blew that out of the water, achieving 176% efficiency with 44 units collected against a goal of 25!”
Huge congratulations to our National Honor Society students and sponsor Jessica Gleason for coordinating the event, and thank you to every student, staff member, and community donor who rolled up a sleeve.
Because of your generosity, HHS not only provided life-saving blood for those in need, but we’re also now eligible for additional American Red Cross scholarships. 🩸🎓
On Wednesday, September 17, 2025, Superintendent Dr. Brent Comer served on the School Leaders Panel at the IU P-12 Education Summit, discussing how universities and P-12 school communities can partner to drive innovation and expand opportunities for Hoosier students. Alongside three district leaders from across Indiana, Dr. Comer emphasized removing barriers for students, welcoming stakeholders into the work, and increasing transparency. His focus remains clear: advancing pathways that prepare BHSC students for college, career, and community life—as our district evolves to serve learners today and those yet to come. We are proud to have Dr. Comer's representation as a small, rural school district in these conversations!
Celebrate BHSC Teachers!
We’re partnering with the Kolton Kaiser Foundation of New Albany to spotlight one amazing BHSC teacher each week—rotating by school (BES → HES → BHS → HHS). The featured teacher will appear on BHSC and school websites/ socials and receive a $50 Amazon gift card for classroom needs.
How to nominate (families of students only):
Tell us which teacher you’re nominating and share a specific story about how they’ve made a difference.
Submit the form: https://forms.gle/GiXWU2pGzVKXmcxHA
How selection works:
A central-office committee reviews nominations without teacher names (stories only).
Quality of the story—not the number of submissions—guides the choice.
One teacher from the scheduled school is selected each week.
Thank you for helping us celebrate the people who make BHSC special! 🧡
Last year, of the students who participated in this program in its initial pilot at HES, 100% of students reported that they felt their ROX leader cares about them, 82% of those students said they felt more connected to girls their age, and 73% said they felt like they could really be themselves as they participated in ROX.
BHSC would like to thank the Kolton Kaiser Foundation again for helping sponsor students' participation in the program!

Students in Mrs. Murrihy's Medical Detectives course tested how well different antibiotics stop bacterial growth by measuring the “zone of inhibition.” Students measured the clear rings—called the zone of inhibition—around each antibiotic disk to compare results and choose the best performer. Real data, real lab skills, and lots of teamwork!
The WHAS Crusade for Children visited Borden High School on Friday to see students developing life skills through the Borden Brews and Cruise Cart! Check out the Crusade's Facebook post, and thank you for supporting the WHAS Crusade for Children. Your generosity helps students strengthen independence and practice real-world skills. These meaningful learning opportunities make a huge difference in the lives of our students and their families.
Beginning this school year, families will be able to view their child’s state assessment results in Cambium’s Indiana Family Portal — including ILEARN (Checkpoints & Summative), IREAD-3, and I AM.
📅 When? Access opens after ILEARN Checkpoint 1 results begin posting in late September 2025.
🔐 How do we log in? Your school will share Family Portal access codes and step-by-step login instructions with you once results are available.
📄 What will I see? Clear, family-friendly score information for your student’s recent assessments—all in one place.
Look for a message in a few weeks from your school with your child’s access code and login directions. Sharing that code and logging in to the Family Portal is enough to view results (schools may still provide printed Individual Student Reports as needed).
Questions? Contact the BHSC Corporation Test Coordinator shurst@bhsc.school.
