Batesville High School has gone a while without any major renovations, but that change began with the dawn of the 08-09 school year.

Some of the first changes included new bleachers in the gym.

“The old bleachers were in poor repair,” replied Mr. Campbell.

 

Changes continue as planning has already begun for the 2009-10 school year. Due in part to BSD support and stimulus funding, six teachers will have a class set of mini laptops when students return in the fall. Those teachers include Ann Ballard, Tammy Gillmore, Lisa Huff, Jeanne Roepcke, Peggy Wells, and Lindley Weygandt.
