Good afternoon Tiger Nation,

Recently, I was involved in a confrontation that was both regrettable and unfortunate. As your Superintendent, I hold myself to the highest standards of professionalism and care, and I deeply regret that this situation occurred.

Since that time, I have met personally with the parents and students involved. Through open and honest dialogue, we have reached a place of mutual understanding and reconciliation. I am grateful for their willingness to come together in that spirit.

As a district, we remain committed to fostering respect, empathy, and strong relationships across our schools and community. This experience has strengthened my commitment to modeling those values and ensuring that every interaction reflects the dignity and care our students and families deserve.

While we cannot share specific details to protect the privacy of those involved, our priority remains ensuring a safe and respectful environment for our students. Additional questions or concerns can be directed to info@bhas.org.

Thank you for your continued trust and partnership as we work together to create a positive environment for all members of our district community.

With respect and appreciation,

Simone Griffin, Ed.D.
Superintendent
Benton Harbor Area Schools

🌟Fair Plain Middle School Food Drive: November 3rd–17th! 🌟

Hello Families,

We’re excited to kick off our Food Drive in this upcoming season of giving! Starting November 3rd- November 17th, our school community will be collecting canned goods and non-perishable food items to help support local families in need this holiday season.

We invite all students and parents to join in the spirit of giving by donating what you can — & to add some fun, we're making it a competition! That's right, the grade who contributes the MOST items, will receive a SURPRISE reward! 🎉

Also, be sure to mark your calendars for our Food Box Giveaway on Wednesday, November 20th, from 2:00–4:00 PM. This special event is open to our school families and community members who could use a little extra support this season.

Let’s come together to spread kindness, share joy, and show what it means to be a caring community. ❤️

The Lions Club will be visiting all Benton Harbor Area Schools on October 23 & 24 to provide vision screenings for students. 👓
