Dear BVCS Families,
Big Valley Christian School is entering an exciting new season of leadership. For many years, God has blessed our school through dedicated leaders, teachers, and families who have built a strong, Christ-centered foundation.
As we look to the future, the School Board is beginning a prayerful process to identify and hire the next Superintendent of BVCS: a full-time, on-campus leader who will begin serving in the 2026–2027 school year. This position will provide focused leadership, daily presence, and continued advancement of our mission to prepare students to impact the world for Christ.
A Superintendent Search Committee, made up of board members, staff, and parents, will guide this process. We invite you to join us in praying for God’s wisdom and provision as we seek the leader He has prepared for this next chapter.
Working together for Him,
Bobby Kirchner, Superintendent & Michelle Mott, Assistant Superintendent
