Principal's Message

Dear Bringhurst Families,

As we come to the end of our first year at Bringhurst, I would like to take a  moment to express my sincere thanks for your continued support and partnership with all of us at Bringhurst.   This year has been an extraordinary one, full of challenges and opportunities for growth.   I am so very proud of our students, staff and families for your collaboration as we got Bringhurst up and running. 

Our teachers have worked tirelessly to provide meaningful learning opportunities for our students and our students have shown an amazing commitment to learning and being your Blazer Best!

As I look ahead to next year, I am filled with hope and optimism for what we can accomplish together.  Our school community is stronger than ever and I am confident that we will continue to support each other and thrive. 

Thank you for entrusting us with the education and well-being of your children. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as your principal.  I look forward to continuing our work together.  

I am excited to announce the approval of an Assistant Principal for the 23-24 school year and beyond.  We will be interviewing this summer and look forward to introducing them to our Bringhurst Community next school year. 

Wishing you and your families a wonderful and fun summer!  

Sincerely,

Mrs. Johanna White

Principal
