Please help us welcome Kenton Crawford as our new Junior High Football and Basketball assistant coach.

Kenton is a 2015 graduate of Batesville, where he played baseball, basketball, and football receiving All State and All conference honors. After high school, he continued his love of baseball at Mineral Area College before transferring to Southern Illinois University, where he played and graduated. Many of our students already know him from coaching our Junior Pioneer baseball team this past year.

“My family and I are excited to be apart of Pioneer Nation! Getting the opportunity to be a part of such a special moment of growth and development as athletes and people is something I’m grateful for. I am committed to giving my all to ensure that, every day! I am a family man, and this is a family I was born to be apart of!”

📝EARLY SCHEDULE PICK-UP!

Our counselors will only be available on June 17 and 18 to distribute student schedules.

If you are unable to pick up your schedule on those dates, please do not worry. Schedules will be available later this summer through your HAC account, and we will notify families as soon as they are ready to view online.

Our counselors have spent many months working diligently to build schedules that best meet the needs of our students. We appreciate their hard work and your patience throughout this process!

Today , we're continuing our celebration of the incredible educators in our BJHSC Math Department by shining the spotlight on Ms. Kristin Montgomery!

Get to know Ms. Montgomery a little better with these fun facts:

First Concert: Brooks & Dunn!

Game Show She'd Crush: Jeopardy! We have a feeling her students aren't surprised by this one.

Comfort Show: The Great British Bake Off because sometimes the perfect recipe for relaxation includes tea, pastries, and a little friendly competition.

Whether she's helping students solve equations, think critically, or discover confidence in their abilities, Ms. Montgomery brings knowledge, dedication, and encouragement to her classroom every day.

Thank you, Ms. Montgomery, for making a difference in the lives of our Pioneers. We're grateful to have you as part of the BJHSC family! 🧡🖤
