School Leadership

Principal's Welcome: High School

I am very excited to extend a big, warm welcome to you from the Big Lake High School family.

As principal, my passion lies in leading our school to excellence in innovation. I am dedicated to collaboration, success, and the power of teamwork. Building connections and fostering relationships are at the heart of what we do and our relationships with the Big Lake community are what provide our students with the opportunities to make them successful contributors to our futures! 

Big Lake is not just a place; it's a community that radiates warmth and embraces the belief that everyone is welcome. For over 30 years, I have been a part of this incredible district and can attest that once you are here, you are a cherished member of the Big Lake family. It's a place where students, families, and the community come together to create something truly special.  

Our goal for Big Lake High School is simple but powerful: to be a destination school for every student. We envision an environment that supports growth, inclusivity, and success for all. No matter what path a student takes to a career, we are committed to providing the tools and support needed to thrive.

What makes Big Lake so awesome? It's not just an acronym; it's a reflection of our values. Always Welcoming Everyone with Support, Opportunities, Membership, and Equality! Our district and community believe in everyone’s potential and offer numerous opportunities for involvement, regardless of age.

Here's to a fantastic high school career filled with learning, growth, and memorable moments! Welcome to Big Lake High School, where we are not just a school, but a family.
