Action Packed Start to the Year
Parents, Teachers, and Students,
Welcome back Bobcat Nation to your 2024-25 school year! My name is Matthew Hall, and I am the new proud principal of Bluffton High School. Here at BLHS we pride ourselves in leading the district academically and upholding a standard of EXCELLENCE in the state. I look forward to supporting the staff and students in maintaining this success that has become the Bobcat way. As I enter my eighteenth year in education and seventh as a principal, I am tremendously proud of the achievements of our students and staff and I cannot wait to see what this year has in store for us!
As a staff, we want you to know that we are steadfast in ensuring that our students receive the best education that can be provided regardless of any circumstances we may face. One thing that will always remain is our accessibility to our families for support. Please never hesitate to reach out to our teachers, counselors, support staff or administration whenever questions or concerns arise, and we will be sure to help work through the situations together for the betterment of our students. We know that together as a school community we will have an incredible year.
If at any point during the year, you need to reach me, please stop by the main office or contact me directly through e-mail at matthew.hall@beaufort.k12.sc.us or calling 843-706-8800.
Sincerely,
