Aimee Dale, BES, kindergarten teacher
Experience: 21 years, all at BES
College/University: Master's from Indiana Wesleyan
Mrs. Dale's favorite part of teaching is easy to explain. "I love watching students have that 'AHA' moment. Seeing the light come on that they finally understand the concept just makes my day! I love when former students come back to visit or help out in class. "
Mrs. Dale was nominated by the family of Sawyer Morris, who wrote, "She has been so wonderful for Sawyer and his transition to kindergarten. She has created a safe space for him and been patient when he has had a hard time getting the day going at school. She has also been so kind when I have messaged her asking how he is doing during the day and extremely helpful when there has been an issue."
Congratulations, Mrs. Dale! Thank you for getting our youngest learners settled and thriving as they start their educational careers.

BHSC Teacher Feature Friday (a few days late)
🔎 Each week, a central office committee reviews nominations and selects one educator from a rotating school (BES, HES, BHS, HHS).

Matthew Payne, HHS, FACS Teacher; Strength & Conditioning Coach
Experience: 2 years with BHSC, 6 years overall teaching
College/University: Bachelor's from WKU, Master's from University of St. Francis, & currently pursuing an additional Master's from USI
Fun facts: Mr. Payne says, "This is a second career for me. Football was my favorite sport I played in my career but most don’t know that I played college rugby at WKU."
Mr. Payne said his favorite part of teaching is that he loves what he does. "This isn’t a job because a job is something you go to and collect a pay check. I love what I do and feel honored to help educate and pass on my life experiences with the kids here. My passion is fitness so I’d say teaching my weight classes and after school training is my favorite part along with being the head middle school football coach."
Mr. Payne was nominated by the family of Jaxon and Ben Kirk, who wrote, "Mr. Payne goes above and beyond when it comes to the health and participation of the students in the gym. He takes his own time to help them lift weight and work out during summer hours! He also stays after school to let the kids work out and lift weights. He coaches football and is an excellent example of sportsmanship and discipline. He works the kids hard but is right there with them, working along side them, pushing them to be their best selves. He is encouraging when they need encouragement and disciplines when they need correction in a positive, supportive way. We absolutely love Mr. Payne and all the dedication and time he puts forth with these kids on a daily basis. He deserves this recognition in our opinion."
Congratulations, Mr. Payne! Thanks for making a difference at BHSC!

This week, the BHSC Teacher Feature Friday spotlights Borden High School.
Matt Vick, BHS, Math Teacher
Experience: 15 years with BHSC, 12 of those at BHS
College/University: Indiana University Southeast
Fun facts: Coach Vick says, "A lot of my students don't know that I taught at Henryville at the beginning of my career. Also, I help on our family farm, and we are known for raising cantaloupes (about 40,000 plants each year)."
Mr. Vick says, "My favorite part of teaching is interacting with the students. Whether it's talking sports, their current job, or even if it's about math, it's fun talking with my students. I know math can be boring for a lot of kids, so I try to make it as fun and down to earth as possible."
Mr. Vick was nominated by a colleague whose own 3 children have all had Mr. Vick as a high school teacher. The Saylor Family wrote, "Mr. Vick has taught all three of our children over the course of several years at Borden. He has always been someone our children feel comfortable confiding in and leaning on. Mr. Vick has always been approachable. My children have asked Mr. Vick math questions when they are no longer in his class. One of my daughters was his cadet teacher and Mr. Vick helped grow her love and teaching and math during her time with him. We cannot express how thankful we are for a teacher like Matt Vick at Borden High School. "
Mr. Vick is sometimes better known as Coach Vick - in addition to teaching math at Borden High School, he serves as head coach for the BHS girls' basketball team and led them to back-to-back 1A State Championship wins. Mr. Vick also often drives a bus for BHSC to help out.
Thank you for everything you do to support the students of BHSC, Mr. Vick!

Adrienne Dickey, HES, 6th Grade Teacher
Experience: 2.5 years with BHSC, 5 years overall
College/University: Indiana University Southeast and University of the Cumberlands
Fun facts: "When I'm not at school or driving my kids to their sporting events, I enjoy hiking, fishing, and thrifting."
Mrs. Dickey enjoys "Teaching kids that math is something not to be afraid of, working with an amazing team, and cheering on our students at their events."
Mrs. Dickey was nominated for this recognition by the family of Brooklynn Newby, who wrote, "She is one of the best teachers we have had at Henryville. I know 6th grade can be hard on kids because it is a hard age with everything going on, but she makes every kid feel amazing. She gives them responsibilities in the classroom that teach them so much more than just a textbook will. She loves all of her students and will go the extra mile to make sure they are all taken care of. We are so blessed to have her at Henryville."
When notified of Mrs. Dickey's nomination, Principal Sara Spicer also noted how impressed she is with the relationships between Mrs. Dickey and her students and the high level of learning that occurs in her classroom.
Thank you for choosing to teach BHSC students, Mrs. Dickey!

This week, the BHSC Teacher Feature Friday spotlights Borden Elementary School.
Misty Ray, BES, 3rd Grade Teacher
Experience: 28 years at Borden Elementary
College/University: Indiana University Southeast
Fun facts: I have traveled to Russia!
When asked about her favorite part of teaching over the last 28 years, Mrs. Ray responded, "My favorite part of teaching third grade is watching my students grow in confidence and begin to believe in themselves. I love seeing that 'lightbulb moment' when something finally clicks. I'm proud of how much growth my students make throughout the year, not just academically, but in their responsibility, kindness, and willingness to try hard things. Since we are a K-12 campus, I also really enjoy seeing my former students in the hallways at school events and hearing about their successes. It is nice to know that I was a part of their journey. "
Mrs. Ray was nominated for this recognition by a family with a unique perspective - the student's guardian is a colleague from the same campus, which means she also sees Mrs. Ray's daily interactions with students and staff and knows how she impacts the culture of her building, in addition to the specific reason the family of Alexis Montgomery nominated Mrs. Ray.
They wrote, "When Alexis enrolled at Borden, she was struggling academically. Alexis was two years behind in all of her skills. With perseverance, modeling, extra support and extra time, Alexis grew two grade levels during her third grade year. Without Mrs. Ray's support and the constant pushing of Alexis to do her best, I feel she would still be behind today. My girl went from truly disliking to read to loving to read, as she now has the skills to be successful. I am so very grateful for everything that Mrs. Ray did for Alexis."
Another family, who asked to remain anonymous, nominated Mrs. Ray for her efforts to stay in constant communication with them as parents as she teaches their son; yet another parent had Mrs. Ray as his own kindergarten teacher years ago, and he shared that her impact on a kid's life is huge in the most positive way.
What a great legacy of generational impact, Mrs. Ray! Thank you for 28 years of service to the students of this district!

Brad Nifong, HHS, Social Studies Teacher
Experience: 20 years at Henryville High School!
College/University: Indiana University Southeast
Fun facts: I was one of our Special Education teachers for my first 7 years at HHS, I have two incredible daughters, and my wife is also a teacher.
Mr. Nifong's love of history fuels his work with HHS students. "I love teaching United States History because I truly believe it matters. For me, it’s important that every student (whether taking my Ivy Tech dual-credit courses or in the 8th grade ) leaves my room informed enough to become thoughtful, patriotic citizens. Henryville has provided me so many opportunities to impact students in the classroom and through coaching, and I am continually grateful that I get to be a part of our growth."
Mr. Nifong had multiple nominations from three families, including Loren Brent Franz, the family of Grace and Emily Stowell, and the mother of Keegan Lewis.
Mr. Franz wrote, "Daniel, my grandson, has not done well in all his classes. He absolutely does not talk about school unless he’s forced. The exception to this is U. S History! Daniel frequently brings up his experiences in Mr. Nifong’s class and the unique ways that he teaches history in a fun and creative way. Daniel is excited about learning in Mr. Nifong’s class, and this is a first."
The Stowell family wrote, "He has been a positive influence in our daughters' lives at school and as a coach. He provides a safe, encouraging environment, and challenges them to be their best selves. This has allowed our girls to blossom and show their personalities with confidence and self-esteem in themselves."
Keegan Lewis's mother wrote, "I am nominating Brad Nifong as a featured teacher because of the remarkable impact he has had on our son this year. Our son has always been a strong student and generally enjoys school, but as an 8th grader this year, he is coming home energized and eager to talk about Mr. Nifong’s history class. History was not a subject he previously gravitated toward, yet he is now excited to share what he is learning and even brings projects home to continue working on them. Mr. Nifong has an incredible ability to bring learning to life in his classroom, and that enthusiasm has sparked a genuine curiosity and excitement for learning in our son. And for anyone who has been around a middle school student recently, sparking interest and excitement in anything is a large task."
Mr. Nifong, thank you for choosing to make a difference at BHSC!

Morgan Cope, BHS, Art
Experience: 20 years at BHS!
College/University: DePauw University
Fun fact: I originally wasn't planning on being a teacher. I wanted to work in an art gallery and interned in NYC in college.
For Mrs. Cope, identifying her favorite part of her job is easy. "I really enjoy connecting with students, teaching them about art, and seeing them do things they didn't think they could achieve. I’m incredibly proud of the artwork my students produce, but I’m just as proud of the relationships we build."
The family who nominated Mrs. Cope asked to remain anonymous but shared that "Mrs. Cope helps us in her classes with what she teaches, but she also works really hard to connect with other students who are not in art classes during study hall so that she can help them. She will work with us on any of our classes, even when they aren't classes she teaches." Mrs. Cope is also a class sponsor, sells tickets at basketball games, and calls the office to make sure someone checks in on kids who are having a rough day.
Mrs. Cope, thank you for being real, being kind, and making sure everyone feels like they belong!
