~Superintendent News~
Greg Denecker, Superintendent

The school year is quickly coming to a close with the last day on Friday, May 26. We hope all of our students had a positive experience this year.  We congratulate the Class of 2023 and wish them the very best as they leave our high school for the last time as students of BHS.  Commencement ceremonies will take place on Saturday, May 27, 2023, at the Bluffton High School gymnasium starting at 7 P.M.  We believe we have prepared our graduates well to be successful in whatever career path they choose.  Congratulations to our graduates!

In addition, we wish the best to several employees who will be retiring from Bluffton Schools at the conclusion of this school year.  Karen Falk has taught Family Consumer Science classes, formerly known as Home Economics, for the past 25 years in Bluffton; Jodi Braun has worked as a cook in our cafeteria for 32 years; and Mardy Herr has been in our district as a teacher and then our technology coordinator for the past 23 years.  We thank Karen, Jodi, and Mardy for their long-term dedication to our school district and the students they served on a daily basis.  We wish them the very best in retirement.
