Dear BMHS Families and Students,

Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year! I am looking forward to an incredible and productive school year for our students, families, and staff. We are excited to return to five full days of in-person instruction in the building, and many opportunities to support our students socially, emotionally and academically.

To help ensure student success in this new year, the BMHS team is committed to providing every student with a safe, caring, and positive learning environment that encourages each student to reach their full potential and achieve our goal of graduating every student college, career, and community ready.  Through our focused commitment to excellence in all that we do, we will strive to support the social emotional wellbeing of our students and provide the best educational experience possible, with the expectation that all students can learn and succeed. BMHS students will be provided with rigorous and engaging learning experiences, as well as ongoing opportunities to connect with the school community so a sense of belonging is cultivated, with educational equity as a foundation for each.  

I am excited about all that this new school year has to offer and look forward to our partnership so that BMHS students are provided with the best educational experience possible.  I truly believe that a strong and positive school and home partnership encourages each student to strive for success and achieve more.  I can not wait to welcome back our students, and the BMHS team extends appreciation and thanks to our families for entrusting us with their teen’s high school experience.

Best wishes for a successful new year of learning in 2021-2022!

Sincerely,
Emily Pelz

Dear BMHS Families and Students,

I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful summer with time to relax and recharge for the upcoming 2021-22 school year. Now that we are finally ready, “Welcome Back!”  I am looking forward to being part of your administrative team as a principal, with Mr. Strauss, for the Freshman Academy. Everything is pointing towards  an excellent, productive, and fun year in an outstanding school community  learning together to accomplish great things 

Freshman year in high school is a time of transition, moving from the expectations of middle school to the new expectations and excitement of becoming a young adult. The intent of our Freshman Academy is to assist this transition by helping our newest Purple Knights adjust to high school standards, expectations, and routines. The Freshman Academy staff will use a team approach to help students develop a common purpose, sense of community, and strong sense of achievement while they learn what it is to become a proud Purple Knight.

I am proud to be a Purple Knight and I am excited about the possibilities that this school year will bring for each member of our community. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting everyone during the upcoming school year. I know we will make this year one of growth and achievement for all of our students. GO PURPLE KNIGHTS!

Sincerely, 
Mr. Greymont
Freshman Academy Principal

Dear BMHS Families and Students,

Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year!  For some of you it is welcome BACK to Beloit Memorial High School, but for many of you it is welcome TO Beloit Memorial High School, home of the Purple Knights!  As I get started in my third year here at BMHS as the BACH Academy Principal, I am looking forward to an incredible, productive, and as close to normal year as possible.  We are thrilled to return to five full days of in-person instruction in the building, with all students present each day, as well as all of the opportunities to support our students socially, emotionally, and academically.

As the BACH Academy Principal, I am very excited for our students to experience a wide array of hands-on, collaborative, and experiential learning opportunities in the fields of Business, Arts, Communication, and Hospitality.  The Academies of Beloit Memorial High School are providing our students with real world work and life experiences that will allow for each individual student to be college, career, and community ready when they graduate from BMHS.  I am truly excited about all of the amazing extra curricular activities that our students will get to experience once again this school year, as well as all of the community related opportunities that will present themselves to our students.  These opportunities are only possible because of the positive school, home, and community partnerships that have been built, resulting in the creation of many pathways that allow for students to strive for success and achieve at their greatest potential.  I cannot wait to welcome our students back, and want to extend a huge thanks and appreciation to our families for entrusting us with their teen’s high school experience!

Best wishes for a successful new year of learning in 2021-2022!   

Sincerely,
Patrick Abrahamson
