School Kudos

For more amazing things happening at Seaholm, check out this week's highlights at https://schoolkudos.com/groups/seaholm-high-school/

Seaholm's Katie Goetz named BEA High School Teacher of the Year!

For Goetz, the award represents a full-circle journey. She is a proud Seaholm graduate from the Class of 1992. Before returning to her alma mater, she taught in Oxford, Michigan, and was teaching at Oxford High School during the tragedy of 2021. Seeking a return to her roots, she “came home” to teach at Seaholm, and she has spent every day since making sure the halls she walked as a teenager are a safe, welcoming, and vibrant environment for the next generation.


Her return has made an undeniable mark on the staff, as well. Goetz was nominated for the honor by a powerhouse coalition of her fellow Seaholm teachers: Robert Hart, Steve Claerr, Shannon Feliciano, Ed Caughell, and Jeremy Barber.


  • Aside from her daily teaching duties, Goetz serves as the BPS District Health Coordinator, teaches CPR and Lifeguarding, and sits on multiple district-wide committees. But if you really want to see her impact, you have to look at Seaholm’s student life and athletic programs. Goetz is the face behind some of the school’s biggest events and organizations:

    • Student Life: She leads the National Honor Society (NHS), helps organize and run Charity Week, and drives school spirit by organizing both Homecoming and Prom.
    • Athletics & Inclusivity: She is the freshman volleyball coach, helps with Unified Basketball, and is a constant fixture at athletic events—serving as the scorer and part-time announcer for varsity Baseball, helping operations for varsity Football, and previously serving as the president of the Wrestling boosters.

    Because of this exhaustive list of responsibilities, it is a well-known fact around the school that on many nights of the week, Goetz’s classroom light is the very last one to be turned off.


    In addition to managing the schedules of hundreds of Seaholm students, she is also a mom to four of her own: Maddie (’24), Casey (’26), Asa (’29), and Finn (’31).


    Ultimately, what makes Goetz the Teacher of the Year isn’t just the number of clubs she runs or the hours she puts in—it’s her heart. Ask any student who has worked with her, and they will tell you that she is their biggest advocate. She doesn’t just manage activities; she listens to student ideas, helps facilitate their visions, and celebrates their successes as if they were her own.

    Congratulations, Mrs. Goetz, on a well-deserved honor. Thank you for proving that once a Maple, always a Maple!

Instructional Technology Survey Reminder

Birmingham Public Schools is seeking feedback on proposed updates to AR 8001 and companion guidance related to instructional technology. These proposed updates will impact teachers, students, and families across grades JK-12.

The District Curriculum Council, which includes teachers, administrators, parents, students, and Board of Education members, has been reviewing research, best practices, and community feedback to help guide these recommendations.

Families, staff, and community members are encouraged to:
• Review the high-level overview document
• Review the draft AR 8001 and companion guidance
• Complete the feedback survey


Community voice is an important part of this process and will help inform final revisions before recommendations are finalized.

Birmingham District Curriculum Council 2026-27

Calling all BPS caregivers! We are now accepting applications for caregiver representatives to serve on the Birmingham District Curriculum Council beginning in the 2026–2027 school year.

The council brings together students, educators, administrators, and caregivers to provide input on district decisions related to instructional materials, course offerings, and student learning initiatives. It’s an opportunity to partner with others across the district and help shape the future of learning in BPS.

We are seeking caregivers who represent a wide range of perspectives, experiences, and school communities. All voices are valued, and we encourage anyone interested in supporting student learning at a district level to apply.

Caregiver representatives must have a child enrolled in Birmingham Public Schools and be available to attend approximately six meetings per year, typically held from 1:00–3:00 p.m. Members are asked to commit to a three-year term.


If you are interested in serving, please complete this application by Friday, May 22. Applicants will be notified of their status no later than June 12.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month!  May is Mental Health Awareness Month!

Mental health awareness plays a crucial role in reducing stigma, encouraging early intervention, and fostering empathy and understanding. Normalizing conversations around mental health nurtures a more compassionate society where individuals feel empowered to seek help, leading to improved mental wellbeing. Key objectives of Mental Health Awareness Month include:


  • Educating the public about mental health conditions and their impact.
  • Reducing stigma by encouraging open conversations and fostering acceptance.
  • Highlighting the importance of early intervention and access to treatment.
  • Sharing available mental health resources, including support groups and crisis services.
  • Building solidarity and reducing isolation for those facing mental health challenges.
  • Advocating for improved mental health policies, increased funding and better access to care.
  • Promoting mental wellbeing and self-care practices for overall health.


Despite overwhelming need, nearly 30 million people across the U.S. don’t have access to affordable, comprehensive mental health and substance use treatment.


The stark truth is:

  • Around 1 in 5 adults experienced any mental illness in the past year.

  • 1 in 20 adults experienced serious mental illness in the past year.

  • 1 in 5 youth have a mental health condition, with anxiety being the most common condition.

  • Globally, about 35% of mental illness emerges by age 14, with nearly 63% appearing by age 25.


This Mental Health Awareness Month, and at all times, please know that it's OK to not be OK, and that mental health is just as important as physical health. Together, let's advocate for support for everyone.

Need Your Student Excused During the Day?

Students leaving early must visit the Attendance Office to get a pass to leave class prior to the beginning of that class period.


We will NOT be interrupting instruction and student learning for early dismissal.


Students with dismissal passes will need to sign-out in the Attendance Office before leaving the building.


Students arriving late or returning to school will use the Late/Tardy Entry QR Code posted throughout the building to log the arrival. The Google email confirmation will be the classroom pass.

Greetings Seaholm Alumni!
In the fall of 2026, we will be celebrating the 75th anniversary of Seaholm High School, which originally opened as Birmingham High School in 1951. As part of our commemorative activities, we will be producing a documentary film. We are seeking alumni to share stories, photographs, and personal anecdotes from their time at Seaholm. Our goal is to capture the distinctive spirit of each decade and highlight significant historical events that occurred during that time. If you would like to contribute your stories, ideas, or photos, please email them to Seaholm75@birmingham.k12.mi.us

Covid Guidance Update

Recently, the Oakland County Health Division updated its’ Covid guidance. A 5 day isolation is no longer required. Students and staff may return to school when their symptoms overall have improved, they do not have fever and they have been fever free for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications such as Tylenol (acetaminophen) Motrin or Advil (ibuprofen). Masking is not mandated, but strongly recommended by the county for 5 days when returning to normal activities to prevent the spread of illness to others. Proper hygiene (cough & sneeze etiquette) and handwashing (20 seconds, all hand surfaces) preventive strategies to prevent the spread of illness to others.
