We love when our student athletes selflessly give back to their own. Therefore we would like to continue recognizing those who do so. The first student athlete we’d like to recognize this year is Junior Logan Combs. Logan is a member of both the golf team and men’s track&field team here at Bluffton. He is a member of the National Honor Society, attends Youth For Christ , is in Ebenezer Youth Group and is a manager at Padrones. All of the above while giving back to students in an elementary classroom.

Like an Eagle, Soar!

by Paul Berchtold, March, 2012

You're an eagle. Again you fly.
It's time we sadly say good-bye.
Yet really, you deserve our cheers,
As our principal all these years.

Like the eagle, you inspire,
You give courage to go higher,
You've given all, your very best,
Now it's time for some well-earned rest.

When you're principal no more,
Spread wide your wings. Feel free to soar.
"Ever onwards!" It's your best part,
It's why we'll keep you in our heart.
You will be greatly missed Mr. Closson!
