Welcome to Bitburg High School. Demonstrating excellence in learning through excellence in teaching, Bitburg High School provides a family-like atmosphere with a full range of curricular and extra-curricular offerings. Bitburg HS students have consistently demonstrated excellence in academic achievement, athletics, and the performing arts. Bitburg HS is also well known for having a friendly and highly motivated student body, faculty, and support staff. I am indeed fortunate to be associated with such an outstanding school. This school year promises to be filled with excitement, challenge, change, achievement, and success. Our highly competent and professional staff will provide a challenging curriculum and high expectations for all students.

My challenge to each one of you is to seize the opportunity to learn in a healthy and positive school environment that is free of many of the negative influences that are affecting American education today. As students, I will expect that you are here to learn and take advantage of the educational opportunities being offered to you. Your future successes will depend, to a very large extent, upon the skills and knowledge you have attained during your high school years.

Parents, support your student and Bitburg High School by reinforcing the importance of education and playing an active role in your student's educational life. The efforts your students make in the classes offered here will very likely set lifelong habits of work, study, organization, punctuality, and goal setting. Our combined efforts will assure your student's success in all these areas. The student in your house has one major responsibility this year, being a successful student at Bitburg HS. Help us see that your student accepts and is successful in that responsibility. This is going to be a great year! Call me, or better yet, come in and see me if you have questions or need help. I am here to be of service to your student and to you. My door is always open. Communication and an effective and positive home-school partnership are vital to a successful relationship between the school and the family. Please contact the administrative team or our teachers if you have a concern or compliment. I look forward to meeting with each one of you during the school year.
