Message from the Superintendent
Dear Members of the Bowling Green City Schools Community,
As we enter the season of giving, our students and staff have been actively involved in several meaningful initiatives to support those in need.
We are incredibly proud of our students who participated in the recent blood drive at Bowling Green High School sponsored by our DECA students. Their generous donations will help save lives in our community and beyond. Thank you to the staff and volunteers who helped coordinate the event and make it a success!
Our annual food drives were a huge success, with families and students contributing non-perishable food items to help stock local food pantries. The generosity of our community is heartwarming, and these donations will make a significant impact on those who need it most this holiday season.
The district’s toy drives are wrapping up (no pun intended!), and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. From stuffed animals to games and books, our district is ensuring that children in our community will have a special holiday season. Thank you to everyone who has donated financially, with a gift of time, or a gift of talent.
While our students have been very active in the giving season with the above initiatives, they are also very active in other school activities. The music concert season is well underway. Choir concerts, band concerts, and orchestra concerts, from both our middle school and high school students, have been filling the Performing Arts Center with toe tapping melodies. I had the privilege of narrating ’Twas the Night Before Christmas at the middle school orchestra concert last evening. I appreciated the opportunity to be a small part in showcasing our student’s talents. They are amazing!
When I was hired in May of 2023 to be the superintendent of the Bowling Green City Schools, I had communicated the desire to ensure transparency and share the news and information of the district with all stakeholders of our community. This e-newsletter you are currently reading is just one of the numerous ways the district has implemented to achieve these tasks. Another method to accomplish these tasks is through the creation of a district Quality Profile (QP). A QP is a school district’s attempt to capture a more complete picture of our district’s strengths and comprehensive services. A QP will highlight six areas of our district. These areas are: Academics, the Arts, Student Leadership & Activities, Fiscal Stewardship, Parent & Community Involvement, and Student Services. The information included will be inclusive of the entire district, K-12, and from all departments and areas. While this is a long and tedious process to complete, I am excited to share that the district plans to release the first ever Bowling Green City Schools Quality Profile in early 2025!
I am honored to serve the students, families, community, and staff of Bowling Green City Schools. I promise that our District will work hard to improve each day to provide a high-quality education for our students, a financially sound organization for our stakeholders, and be a point of pride for the entire community.
Go Bobcats,
Dr. Ted Haselman
Superintendent
