If you haven’t heard, we are saying not goodbye, but “see ya later” to our team member, Mr. Gary Mork, as he begins his retirement.

Mr. Mork has been a trusted supporter, listener, encourager, and advocate for countless students and families throughout his years at BHS. His kindness, sense of humor, and unwavering commitment to students have made a lasting impact on our school community.

While we will certainly miss seeing him in the halls each day, we are excited for him as he begins this next chapter filled with more time for family, friends, travel, and all the things retirement brings.

Thank you, Mr. Mork, for the difference you have made in the lives of so many. The impact you have made on BHS and thousands of students will be felt for years to come!
