“What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.” - Nelson Mandela, Former President of South Africa Principal’s Letter Dear Badin Alumni and Friends, At Badin High School, we strive to put the above quote into action. Our motto the last several years has been, “Serving God, Serving Others.” Our faculty, staff, students, parents and alumni prove time and again the difference one can make in the lives of others. Recently, our sophomores met with various local agencies to learn more about how they can make a difference in our local community. Many of our students participated in a Habitat for Humanity build to provide housing to those in need. Several Friday evenings all year long, you will find Badin students, teachers and parents volunteering at the Community Meal Center in Hamilton, providing food and company to local citizens who are in need of a hot meal and friendship. These are only a few examples of the difference our students make in the lives of others. Our teachers make a difference every day in the classroom and beyond. The high quality education that our students receive is second to none. What sets our teachers apart is the personal concern our faculty and staff have for the students. Students appreciate knowing that their teachers care for and support them as young men and women. Students are able to not only receive an excellent education from their teachers but are also able to develop mentoring relationships that serve the students well in the future as they apply for college and make decisions about careers. We are blessed to have an outstanding faculty and staff here at Badin High School. These are exciting times at Badin High School. At 158 students, our freshman Class of 2016 is the largest class in the school since the Class of 2008 arrived in August of 2004. Our overall enrollment is over 500, which is an increase of 50 students from last year. All of our students and faculty are utilizing iPads. Technology has dramatically changed the way students learn and here at Badin we are responding to these changes in order to provide the best education possible. The iPads allow our students to become actively engaged in the learning process. Our faculty continues to find new and innovative ways to implement this technology into their curriculum, always with a focus on increasing student achievement. For the first time in the history of the school, our classrooms are air conditioned! This project was completed over the summer. Thank you to the school board for their support on this important project. It has made a tremendous difference in the learning environment. These and other improvements have made Badin a stronger school. However, Badin High School is still all about family. The success of our students now and in the future is dependent on the quality of the people who fill the hallways at BHS. The positive experiences our students and families are having are the key to our continued growth. We must continue to hire and retain high quality teachers and staff that help guide our students on their path to adulthood. We must continue to provide strong faith development through our entire retreat program, our Christian Service program and throughout all our classes. We must continue to challenge ourselves to meet the needs of current and future students while remaining true to our values. We pray that we will continue to receive your prayers and support as we strive to live our mission. As always, we welcome your presence at Badin. We would love the opportunity to show you around the campus and meet our wonderful faculty, staff and students. God bless you and your family – Brian D. Pendergest Brian D. Pendergest ’90 Principal 3
