What I like about BCHS: The family/Christian atmosphere.

Favorite Quote: "We are not mere specks in the universe; through Christ, we are spectacular!"

Background: BS in Mathematics Education from Purdue, working at BCHS since January 2009.

What I like about BCHS: Chatard recognizes that there is more to the growth and education of high schoolers than pure academics. Through service experiences, extra-curricular activities, and things as simple as starting classes with prayer, students receive a more complete and worthwhile high school experience.

Favorite BCHS Moment: As a student from 2000-2003, I have many great memories. Giving the valedictorian speech at graduation stands out in my mind as both an honor and a humbling experience. As a teacher, my favorite moments happen daily when a student will achieve something beyond what they thought possible. I'm happy to be able to help students reach these moments.

Favorite Quote: "You can do nothing with children unless you win their confidence and love by bringing them into touch with yourself, by breaking through all the hindrances that keep them at a distance. We must accommodate ourselves to their tastes, we must make ourselves like them." ...St. John Bosco

Background: My B.A. in Mathematics is from Marian University(College) and my M.A.T. in Mathematics is from Purdue University.

What I like about BCHS: I like the small-town feeling. Having grown up in an area where people knew each other well, I like that sense of community in the larger city setting. My best friends are my teaching colleagues and I value the relationships I have formed with parents and students over the years. I also like the fact that God is present in our school and that Christian values can be promoted here.

Favorite BCHS Moment: When I turned 50 years old, I was in homeroom when Mr. Kedra came in and started yelling at my students who were doing nothing wrong. It puzzled me until I noticed my family walking in behind him carrying a cake. My husband came from work, Jeanette was home from college, and Kathy and Alex came from their classrooms to surprise me. The cake was in blue and white BCHS colors and the blue icing was a trigonometric problem that worked out to 50. It was my favorite birthday cake ever.

Favorite Quote: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." ...Proverbs 3:5,6

Background: B.A. in Mathematics and Theology from the University of Notre Dame; M.Ed. from the University of Notre Dame

What I like about BCHS: I like the fact that BCHS is small enough that I know most of the students but big enough to offer variety and diversity.

Favorite BCHS Moment: Sitting on the bench for the girls' state basketball championship game at Conseco Fieldhouse in 2008

Favorite Quote: "To those whom much is given, much is expected" ...Lk 12:48

Background: B.S. Management/Marketing, minor in Mathematics from Indiana University. M.A.T. Secondary Education from Oakland City University. I worked for 6 years in the Life-Science and Oil Analysis Industries as an Operations Manager.

What I like about BCHS: I like the small school culture that allows you to build relationships with all students and staff, but is large enough to offer a wide variety of faith-based, academic, club, and athletic opportunities.

Favorite BCHS Moment: Getting to see all the new (and old students) at Orientation.

Favorite Quote: "Satisfaction is the effort, not in the attainment" ...Ghandi
