BHSC Teacher Feature Friday
🔎 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.
For our final week, the BHSC Teacher Feature Friday is a double feature, and this post spotlights Henryville High School.
Jeff Schroeder, HHS, English teacher
Experience: 36 years (33 at West Clark and Borden-Henryville)
College/University: IUS (Bachelor's) and Indiana Wesleyan (Master's)
Fun Facts: Mr. Schroeder's best sport in high school was tennis, yet he decided to play baseball in college.
"I made the decision 33 years ago to leave Madison Consolidated High School to accept a position at Henryville High School to teach English/Language Arts and coach baseball. That turned out to be one of the best decisions that I have ever made. The relationships that I have made with students, faculty, and community members during those years are near and dear to me. , " says Mr. Schroeder.
Mr. Schroeder was nominated by former student Cassie Walton. Her words about Mr. Schroeder reveal just how important positive, intentional relationships are in working with students. "Mr. Schroeder was my English teacher my senior year. I had him first period, and he is truly the only reason I made it to school each morning. I didn’t have any friends, didn’t talk that much. But Mr. Schroeder made sure to have at least one conversation with me each day because he knew I didn’t have anyone in my corner. He truly made such an impact on me my senior year, and I definitely couldn’t have done it without him," Cassie wrote.
Cassie’s story is a powerful reminder of the profound difference a caring teacher can make. Congratulations, Mr. Schroeder, on this wonderful recognition of your empathy, dedication, and heart. Thank you for making sure no one stands alone.
What a great way to wrap up our inaugural year of BHSC Teacher Features, sponsored by the Kolton Kaiser Foundation! This year, thirty-six BHSC teachers were recognized by students, families, and community members for the impact they've made on BHSC students. Nominations will reopen next school year for BHSC Teacher Features for each of the four schools.

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 Borden High School.
Doc Nash, BHS, PE teacher
Experience: 20 years at BHS and 3 years at Austin
College/University: Olney Central College and Manchester University
Fun Facts: Mr. Nash loves farming, hunting, and driving a dump truck in the summers!
"My favorite part of BHS is seeing students succeed both in school and in sports. I have had several 'proud' moments that include a lot of basketball memories, but when non-athlete students come to say hi or tell me life stories, that is my ultimate 'win.' I love the relationships our staff develops with our students while they are here and long after they graduate, " says Mr. Nash.
Mr. Nash was nominated anonymously, but the family gave permission to share their words. "He is so much more than a teacher, coach, or a bus driver; he’s a consistent, bright spot in the lives of students. Whether he’s coaching at the high school or encouraging an elementary student at biddy ball camp, he treats every child with the same kindness and respect. He has a special talent for reaching the kids who need it most—breaking down walls built by trauma with nothing more than a laugh and a genuine connection. He’s a reminder to everyone that relationships always come first."
Congratulations, Mr. Nash!

Over the past two weeks, Mr. Seth Caudill's HHS PLTW Engineering students presented their culminating Capstone Projects! These high schoolers didn't just study engineering—they applied real-world design, problem-solving, and teamwork to tackle major societal challenges.
🌟 Group 1: Fighting Light Pollution 🌌
Kayden Shultz & Nathan Burns
The Mission: Mitigating the harmful effects of light pollution on human circadian rhythms and wildlife.
The Solution: They engineered an outdoor lighting system designed to reduce light pollution by at least 30%!
🌟 Group 2: "Epione" Medical App 📱
Brianna Chastain, Charli Daniels, & Ethan Romine
The Mission: Simplifying complex medication management and providing vital life-saving knowledge to the public.
The Solution: A mobile health app that guides users through critical first aid situations (like burns and bleeding) and tracks prescription compliance.
🌟 Group 3: Multiple Stimuli Alarm Clock ⏰
Quincy Dooley, Owen Kern, & Josiah Spicer
The Mission: Waking up extremely heavy sleepers who suffer from alarm fatigue and don't respond to traditional sound.
The Solution: A physical robotics device that combines high-fidelity sound with mechanical motion to ensure a reliable wake-up call.
These projects showcase true innovation and prove that our students are officially career- and college-ready.
Join us in congratulating these brilliant young minds on their hard work!

Experience: 5 years at BES, 9 years overall

"I have been blessed to teach all levels and grades. Music has always been my outlet, and I'm happy I get to share my knowledge and enthusiasm for it with my students.
