Today we’re shining the spotlight on our Administration Team—the heart of leadership at BMS:
✨ Mrs. Umphries, Assistant Principal
✨ Mrs. Sprankle, Assistant Principal
✨ Mr. Almasy, Principal
We asked them a few fun questions, and here’s what they had to say:
👉 What do you love most about working at BMS?
“Spending my days with middle schoolers!” – Mrs. Umphries
👉 What’s one thing you wish more parents or students knew about your team?
“At BMS we are fortunate to have the hardest working and most caring educators I have ever been able to work with. These dedicated professionals want to see kids thrive and be successful while at BMS and in the rest of their lives.” – Mr. Almasy
👉What’s one thing you wish more parents or students knew about your job?
"We have such a great group of students! Middle school is a difficult time for students and parents, but we are blessed with a supportive and engaged community. " - Mrs. Sprankle
We are so grateful for the leadership, dedication, and heart this team pours into our students, staff, and school every single day!💜💛
