Dear Bandys High School Families,
Welcome to a new school year at Bandys High School! As we embark on another great school year at Bandys High School, I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to our entire school community—students, parents, teachers, and staff—for your ongoing support, trust, and partnership. It is your commitment that makes Bandys not just a school, but a family.
This year, we are continuing to set our sights high. Academically, we will continue to raise the bar by focusing on rigor and student engagement. To achieve our goal, we expect our students to come prepared, work diligently, and demonstrate the character and integrity that make Trojan Country proud. We will also continue school-wide initiatives that support our students’ academic, career, and personal and social aspirations. Ultimately, our goal is to foster a learning environment where every student is challenged, supported, and celebrated.
Parental involvement remains a cornerstone of student success. We encourage you to stay engaged by attending school events, joining our parent organizations, and maintaining open communication with teachers and administrators. When schools and families work together, students achieve their full potential.
I would also like to acknowledge our exceptional faculty and staff. Their dedication, professionalism, and passion for education are unmatched. Whether they are teaching in the classroom, supervising a club, coaching a team, or maintaining our campus, they are committed to making Bandys High School a place where students can succeed and grow.
To our students: This is your year to lead, learn, and grow. Get involved in activities, take pride in your work, and push yourself to reach new heights. Take ownership of your learning and support one another—you are the heart of this school.
Looking ahead, we are excited about the opportunities this year holds. From enhanced instructional practices to schedule adjustments that provide more classroom instruction time, the future at Bandys High School is bright. Together, we will continue building a school culture rooted in excellence, respect, and community.
If I can be of assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can contact our front office at (828) 241-1471 or email me directly at chad_maynor@catawbaschools.net. We value your voice and are here to support you every step of the way.
Let’s make it another great year, Go Trojans!
Sincerely,
Dr. Chad Maynor
