May 15 Head of School Weekly Update

by Les Rainey on May 15, 2025

Dear BACS Family,

The finish line of the 2024–2025 school year is clearly in sight! Today marks the beginning of graduation season on campus, starting with our Early Learning Academy, continuing tomorrow with Kindergarten, and culminating next Friday evening when the Class of 2025 walks across the stage. Graduations represent the close of one chapter and the exciting beginning of the next. We are incredibly proud of all our graduates!

I also have some exciting news to share about a new addition to our school leadership team. I’m pleased to announce that Mrs. Jessica Tracy will be joining BACS next year as our Elementary Assistant Principal. Mrs. Tracy brings over 30 years of educational experience, specifically within the elementary grade levels. Attached to this week’s update, you’ll find more information about Mrs. Tracy to help you get to know her better. We look forward to officially welcoming her into the Bronco community this summer.

In more good news, I was thrilled to learn this week that 352 students recited Gold Star Scripture this school year! Proverbs 3:1–2 says, “My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments, for the length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you.” What a powerful and worthy achievement—eight months of Scripture memorized and hidden in their hearts. The impact of that investment will last far beyond this school year.

It’s a great day to be a Bronco!
