Superintendent

As we embark on the final three months of the 2024-25 school year, I remain incredibly honored and humbled to serve as superintendent of this exceptional educational community. The first six months of the school year have been filled with inspiring moments, strong collaboration, and a shared commitment to learning, growth, and achievement. I am grateful for the dedication of our students, staff, and families, who continue to make Bloomfield Hills Schools a place of excellence.

 

Building on the foundation we established in the fall, our guiding message this year for staff —Dare to C.A.R.E. (Connect, Acknowledge, Respect, and Engage)—continues to drive our efforts in fostering a positive and supportive school culture. By embracing this challenge, we create an environment where every student and staff member feels valued, respected, and empowered to succeed.

 

As we look ahead, our commitment to academic excellence remains steadfast. We will continue to provide innovative programs, cutting-edge resources, and meaningful learning opportunities to equip our students with the skills they need for future success. We look forward to sharing information with our school community about the Strategic Planning Process, which we expect will begin late this summer. Whether in the classroom, through extracurricular activities, or within our broader community, we will work together to ensure every student has the opportunity to thrive. Thank you for your ongoing support, engagement, and trust. I look forward to an exciting and productive Spring as we continue this journey together. Let’s make the remainder of the 2024-25 school year one of growth, achievement, and connection as we all Dare to C.A.R.E.!

 

Warm regards,

Rick West
