A Brand New Year for the 125th Time Welcome
Welcome to the Fall issue of Torchbearer! We have just begun a new school year, and it is so lovely to see the buildings come alive again with the return of staff and students. September always brings a feeling of new beginnings, and I am confident that this upcoming school year will be as busy, exciting and successful as the last.
We begin this year by celebrating the 125th anniversary of BHS. Over a century of memories live in our hallways and on our campus – from the humble beginnings of two rooms on Reid Street, to the new Innovation Centre which has made amazing progress over the summer. BHS has come a long way, and has always been a leader in education for young women in Bermuda. As we firmly set our sights on the future, it is always good to stop and remember where we came from, so I hope you enjoy the History of BHS article.
Also in this issue, we welcome Tracy Renaud as our new Head of Primary, meet the two new Head Students for this year, Natalie Calderon and Cerra Simmons, and we highlight the life and legacy of a remarkable BHS alumna, Elizabeth (Betty) Kitson who passed away earlier this year. Torchbearer also spoke to our TIES consultant, Julie Hasjford, to get a better understanding of a STEAM education. I hope you find it enlightening and it excites you with the direction in which BHS is going.
