DID YOU KNOW?
We have a secure Dropbox for anyone who needs to drop off paperwork after hours for anyone at school--this includes the high school, middle school, elementary school, the district office, the transportation office, Community Ed and any other staff housed within our school buildings.
This is great info for families turning in forms and paperwork before school starts!
The box is checked twice each weekday--in the morning and at the end of the day.
Please--no payments should be left in the dropbox; deliver them directly to the office.

Here's a little heads up for fall athletes and parents!
We are delighted to introduce Travis Armstrong in his new position as Blue Earth Area Activities Director & High School Dean of Students! We kindly ask for your warmest welcome in his new position as he continues to contribute to our school community. Let's come together to support him in his exciting journey ahead.
A note from Mr. Armstrong:
Beginning in the fall of 2023, I will be the Activities Director/Dean of Students at the high school. For the last 27 years, I have been in the classroom teaching biology and other science classes. In 1996 I began my teaching and coaching career in Chatfield, Minnesota, upon my graduation from what was then Mankato State University. After one year, I returned to school at MSU to further my education and coach college football at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter. In the fall of 1999, the teaching position at Blue Earth Area opened up, facilitating my return home to teach and coach at BEA.
Besides working with students and athletes, I like to spend as much time as I can playing golf and being with my family. My wife and I have two wonderful daughters that bring us great joy. Watching them grow up and become adults has been satisfying, and we can’t wait to see where life takes them.
Research has shown that participation in high school activities has many positive outcomes. Participation improves attendance and academic achievement, as well as improves students’ social-emotional health. I look forward to working with our students, athletes, parents, and fans to make BEA Activities a quality experience for all. Go Bucs!
When it comes to finding the great thinkers in a classroom, sometimes they are easy to spot! 🤔
Does anyone recognize these great thinkers from the 2009 yearbook?
