Message from the Principal

A headshot of a man with a goatee wearing a blue shirt and red tie.Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year! I look forward to the challenges and opportunities that another year brings here at Bushnell-Prairie City High School. If we all work together, we can continue to build a system focused on student learning through high expectations, innovation, and overall collaboration. I encourage all students to get involved with as many school activities as possible, to make a commitment to academic excellence, and to be a contributor to a positive school climate. 

Our goal is to support each student at B-PC in having a safe and successful learning experience. The staff here at B-PC high school is nothing short of extraordinary, and we are fortunate to have a group of educators who believe all students can succeed and are dedicated to ensuring this happens. It is the emotional, educational, and academic needs of each student that drives our decisions and the implementation of our efforts. It is our mission to facilitate and challenge every student to be college and career ready by achieving his or her highest academic, social, and emotional potential.

Great things can and will happen at Bushnell-Prairie City High school if you are willing to put in the time and effort. If the past few years have taught us anything, it has taught us to not take anything for granted. Webster defines the phrase “to take for granted” as a failure to properly appreciate (someone or something), especially as a result of overfamiliarity. Be thankful for what you have, but never be satisfied with what you have done. I am your Principal. I am here for YOU. Call or come see me anytime.

BE A GOOD STUDENT – Come to school, do all your homework, turn in all your assignments, pay attention in class, and maintain a good relationship with your teachers and staff. 

BE RESPECTFUL – Give your teachers and all school personnel the proper respect. Give respect and you’re likely to get it back.

BE ON TIME – Never be late to school or functions. Being on time is a habit, so is being late. Always try to be at least 5 minutes early for all scheduled activities.

TAKE CARE OF SCHOOL PROPERTY – This is your building so take pride in it. 

BE A GOOD STUDENT AND FRIEND – Strive to be a good student and friend with every member of the school. Encourage each other and be positive, leave the criticism out of the school. Do your best in the role you are given. Keep lines of communication open with your teachers.

DISPLAY CLASS – Display dignity and class. Be gracious and humble. Respect the staff and their decisions. Make our school, and the community we represent, proud to call us theirs.

THE STANDARD IS THE STANDARD – Many have given their time and effort to establish this institution. The standard has been set... be a champion and play along. Strive to give your best effort every time you step in this building. That is what we expect of you as a member of the Spartan family. Implement this into your daily life and the results will be positive.
