Dear Members of the Berea High Family:

I am extremely excited about being a part of the Berea High School family. After spending the past nine years in Greenville County Schools as a teacher leader and assistant principal, I have learned that hard work, dedication, and possessing the desire to continuously improve do bring about positive results.  These core values, along with good citizenship, are important values to instill in all of our students.

The mission of Berea High School is to prepare responsible, productive citizens in a changing world by providing diverse learning experiences in a nurturing environment. We will continue to model the core values of our community, while providing a safe and secure environment that promotes and rewards success for all students. We believe that all students can learn, and by providing a positive nurturing environment, they will succeed; in the classroom and in life.   

I know that Berea High is a unique school that offers a variety of opportunities to our students. Berea is one of the most diverse high schools in Greenville County. I truly believe that we can build a school community that not only appreciates that diversity, but also uses those social and cultural differences to enhance education and produce productive citizens. 

I would like to take this opportunity to challenge parents, guardians, and members of our community at-large to be active members of the Berea Family.  Without your support and encouragement we will have a more difficult time in helping our students achieve their full potential. There are several ways for you to become involved at Berea High School. We are inviting you to be members of our PTA, Athletic and Arts Booster Clubs, ROTC and parent volunteers. There is a time and place at Berea for each one of you!

This is a special time in the history of Berea High School. This year we will be celebrating our 100^th year as an accredited high school. We are planning several opportunities for our parents, friends and alumni to return to Berea High School and celebrate with us. In the coming weeks we will be posting information about activities and volunteer opportunities on our web site and on Facebook.

In closing, I would like to again take this opportunity to let you know how excited I am to be a part of the Berea Family. I am looking forward to working with our students, faculty, and community, so that we can make a positive difference in the lives of our students and community.

Sincerely,

Mike Noel, Principal

Berea High School
