Why is Ball Chatham such an incredible school district? Read what former student, current parent and current employee has to say what her WHY is:
"My 'WHY' for being a member of the incredible family of staff at Ball-Chatham School District is four-part. First are my children, who are students in the District, just like I was. I work here for them, hands down, so I can be a part of the community where they are growing and learning each day. Not only do I get a closer look at what goes into shaping their minds, which is amazing to see, but I get to feel closer to them and what they are doing every day...and they LOVE that Mom works for the schools! They get a chance to see me sometimes when I visit their school and they learn more about the other schools from me. Second is because I want to give back and be a better steward in my community where I grew up and am raising my family. I wanted to work where I felt like I had a purpose and working for the District gives me that purpose. My job, my small part, is important to the children and families in our community; I help others educate children who are our future and that helps strengthen our community. Knowing that I can make a difference every single day makes my job fun and exciting, and a place I want to be. Third, I am a Titan. I started school in this District and have been cheering on Glenwood ever since. I know this District is amazing and I am excited to continue to be a part of it and share its excellence with future Titan generations. My fourth 'why' is ME! Working here makes me happy; BCSD is home. I love coming here every day, the people I work with, the kids I see, and I love walking in the schools where I grew up and where my children are growing up. I love being a part of this family. Once a Titan, always a Titan.
