Brief Message From the Principal
As we embark on another exciting school year at Bear Creek, I want to extend a warm welcome to all our returning families and a heartfelt greeting to those joining us for the first time. I am Dr. Jeremy Stetler, your proud principal, and I am thrilled to start this journey with you. Our dedicated teachers and staff have been busy preparing to create a year full of learning, growth, and memorable experiences for our students.
This year, we are focusing on fostering a community where every student feels supported, challenged, and inspired to reach their full potential. We have some wonderful programs, events, and initiatives planned that I can't wait to share with you. Let's make this school year at Bear Creek one of the best yet!
