Administration Welcome

Dear Bloomfield Hills Middle School Community,

I want to extend to you and your family a very warm welcome to Bloomfield Hills Middle School. The middle years are an exciting time when children embark upon new adventures in the world of learning. Each year will provide important transitions and the acquisition of new skills that will enhance each student's ability to apply learning in many ways. Bloomfield Hills Middle School is committed to providing a challenging and rigorous curriculum that helps each student progress at a developmentally appropriate rate and provides a safe environment for all students. Maintaining each child's self-esteem and building a secure foundation for future growth is our biggest priority.

At Bloomfield Hills Middle School, we strive to create a positive learning environment for all of our Lancers. Our school actively implements a school-wide system of positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) as a way to teach character development. Our school successfully implements programs each year to build a broader understanding of what it takes to be a respectful, responsible and safe individual. Creating and maintaining a positive environment at BHMS is always a central focus.

As a former elementary and middle school teacher, I value the social and emotional development of each child as they transition from their primary years through early adolescence. I value life-long learning and aim to make your child's learning experience at Bloomfield Hills Middle School engaging and exciting. As an International Baccalaureate (IB) School we are also dedicated to the establishment of a school-wide environment which supports each student's academic, social, and physical needs through a rigorous program of study. With a wide range of Unified Arts courses, utilization of the latest technology, and a wide variety of sports, clubs and activities, I am confident BHMS will provide an enriching experience for every learner.

On behalf of the entire school staff, again let me welcome you to Bloomfield Hills Middle School. We are excited about working with your children and thank you for trusting us with their education. BHMS is a place of joyful learning, and I hope that your child finds enormous satisfaction and growth with us during middle school. I invite you to call or visit with me any time that you have a question regarding your child's progress in school.

Yours sincerely,

Randy English

As the associate principal of Bloomfield Hills Middle School, I am excited to be your partner in the social, emotional and academic development of your child. My goal for each child's educational journey is to support them as learners who seek to inquire, understand multiple perspectives, engage in respectful dialogue, grapple with complexities, and take responsible action.  

I began my career in Bloomfield Hills in 2000 as an English teacher at Lahser High School. After 17 years in the classroom, I then became the IB teacher leader at West Hills Middle School, followed by a year as the principal of Bloomfield Virtual. Across these roles, I have been honored to work with talented and caring staff as well as wonderfully supportive and engaged families. Additionally, I am proud to be raising my own two sons in this community.

I strongly believe that young people are capable of greatness. When we support their passions, grow their knowledge, and invite their voice, our world is a better place. There is no place I’d rather be than with young people in the midst of that exciting journey.

Please feel free to reach out to me at any time. If there is anything I can assist you with, please let me know. I look forward to getting to know you and your family.
