Principal's Message
Hello and welcome to the digital home of Belmont High School!
It is a privilege to serve as Principal of BHS, the grades 9-12 learning environment of the Shaker Regional School District.
We hope that a review of our website will provide you with the information and/or resources you are seeking - and that you have an opportunity to know us a bit better as a result!
The 2022-23 school year continues to be one during which our positive school culture and community are growing to be even greater strengths. As we have been able to do through the early months of this year, we will continue to offer and communicate opportunities for our students, families, and the community as a whole to come together to celebrate the talents and accomplishments of our young people.
The Shaker Regional District’s mission is to engage learners to succeed in our (and their) ever-changing world. With that overarching objective in mind, we continue to emphasize three themes for the 2022-23 school year:
• Engagement - Each student can and should be committed to his/her experiences, and we’ll work to make those experiences meaningful to you as an individual. Genuine involvement and commitment can lead to amazing outcomes for our students!
• Being PRESENT - Be here in each moment; whether you’re in the classroom, having a conversation with a teacher/BHS professional, or interacting with other members of our school community, we invite you to be THERE and give that moment your attention.
• Raising the bar - We are asking more of ourselves - and of our students. We seek ways through which we can partner in their pursuits of success.
Themes and goals such as these require a collaborative effort between all stakeholders - including you! Whether you are a student, building professional, guardian, or another community member, YOU have a role to play in the successes of the young people of Canterbury and Belmont. Join us at events. Cheer loudly and proudly. Ask questions - and be involved in the steps necessary to overcome challenges that arise.
Please contact the high school’s main office with any questions, to learn more about our school, or to get involved! A school working to its fullest potential is one in which all stakeholders are valued contributors. Regardless of the particular role you hold, you are a vital player in the growth of our school - and in the success of our students.
As always - Go BHS!
Mr. Matthew Finch
Principal, Belmont High School
