Lots of improvements are taking place this summer at the high school. We will be giving the two science labs, the ag room, and another classroom a facelift. As well adding a ramp in the east hallway. Stay tuned for updates!
🎉 That’s a Wrap, Bobcats! 🎉
We ended the school year with laughter, excitement, and a whole lot of whipped cream! 🥧
Our students earned tickets based on their AR points and got to vote for which teacher they wanted to see get “pied” in the face. The lucky participants this year were Mr. White, Ms. Shelby, Miss Wendling, Miss Kremer, Ms. Dittamore, Mrs. Brungard, and Mrs. House—and let’s just say, our students made some very enthusiastic choices! 😄
What a fun way to celebrate all of the hard work our students put into reading this year. We are so proud of their dedication and growth!
📸 Enjoy the pictures and have a safe, happy summer, Bobcats! 💙💛

When we are in school, we talk a lot about success. We celebrate when someone gets a 100% on a spelling test, or when someone runs the fastest lap in PE, or when a sports team wins a big game. And don't get me wrong—those are fantastic achievements, and we should absolutely be proud of them. Good grades are great. They show focus, they show study skills, and they are a wonderful reflection of academic dedication.
But I want to share a little secret with you all today: while good grades are great, they are only a small piece of the puzzle of life.
You can be the smartest person in the room, but if you don't know how to treat people with kindness, your impact will be limited. You can get a perfect score on a single test, but that test won't teach you how to pick someone up when they fall down.
Earning a Citizenship Award isn’t about being the fastest runner or getting the highest score. It is about character. It is about how a student treats others when no one is looking, how they handle challenges when things get tough, and how they contribute to making Beecher City Grade School a better place for everyone.
A good citizen is the heartbeat of a school; they are the leaders who lead by example, not just by words. They understand that a good attitude, a willingness to work hard, and a heart full of respect will take you all the way in life—much further than any report card ever could.
Our first recipient is a young lady who leads with kindness and integrity. She is a constant reminder of how much of a difference one person can make just by being a good friend and a dedicated student. She walks into a room and quietly makes it better, simply by being herself.
Our second recipient is a young man who sets the bar high for his classmates. His reliability, his steady work ethic, and his unwavering commitment to doing the right thing make him a true role model for our younger students. He is someone you can always count on, no matter what.
Congratulations, Falyn Hahn and Keaton Sutter!

Check out these waterpark designs from our Geometry students in Mrs. Tirevold's class. To bring their blueprints to life, students calculated the slopes, midpoints, and distances between attractions, proving that complex mathematical concepts have real-world applications.
We're excited to announce that we will be adding High School Golf to our extracurricular activities. If you know someone who would enjoy coaching our CHBC Golf Team send them our way!
Enjoy a fun family night downtown Effingham!

🍎✨ 2026 Teacher Appreciation Week ✨🍎
Last week, we were proud to celebrate the amazing teachers of Beecher City Grade School. From educators with 36 years of experience to our 3 amazing first-year teachers who are wrapping up their very first year in the classroom, each one of you makes a difference in the lives of our students on a daily basis.
Thank you for the early mornings and late nights, the extra push, the endless patience, and the unfailing commitment you give to our school. Your influence goes beyond the classroom. You develop relationships, instill confidence, foster growth and help mold the future of our Bobcats.
I can honestly say as a Dean of Students, I see your hard work on a daily basis. You never cease to go the extra mile for our students, families, and each other, and Beecher City Grade School is a better place because of you.
Thank you for loving our students, believing in them, and showing up for them, day after day. Words can’t express how much we appreciate you.
