Principal’s Message

Once a year, our nation honors its veterans. Every day, veterans honor us all with the fruits of their service. At Boone High School, we have several of our Braves who are staff members and who are also veterans from various military branches:

Ricardo Belchior, U.S. Coast Guard (JROTC)

James Elswick, U.S. Army (CTE)

Maurice Gibson, U.S. Marine Corps (Mathematics)

Robert Strange, U.S. Navy (JROTC)

Darrick Wade, U.S. Navy (JROTC)

Carrie Weatherbee, U.S. Navy (Paraprofessional)

Each of these staff members has worn the uniform, but they have effectively served our country not once, but twice. First, during their years of military service and then again through their service within the educational system. They are all top professionals and true assets here at BHS and to America. If you happen to be in contact with any of our veterans this Wednesday or at any point this week, kindly take a moment to thank them for their service. They have dedicated their lives to serving our great nation, and any appreciation coming from a student, a family member, or a colleague would mean a great deal. 

As we now move within two weeks of the Thanksgiving break, I again ask all of our Braves to concentrate on their goals and to make each of these next 10 instructional days count. Our overall student attendance percentage finished in a very positive range in October, and we want to keep that momentum going right up to the break.

As always, thank you for reading and best wishes for a successful week ahead!

Forever Brave,

Hector Maestre, Ed.D.
