Congratulations to our Students of the Month for October at Boyne City High School! Below are pictures and written nominations for each student.
9th Grade - Grady Ragan
Grady has been a great student so far this year! In Pre-Algebra he has been a huge help in class, whether that be answering questions, completing his notes/assignments on time, or helping other students out when they have questions.
10th Grade - Olivia Eckerle
Olivia is one of the most resilient students I've ever met. She is a student who wants to learn, not just to get a good grade, but to truly master the material. She is quiet, but always engaged. Although I only have Olivia in English, last week she asked to sit in on our creative writing class. Despite note being in the class, she participated in our class activities and helped her peers revise their short stories. She works so hard, and she deserves this recognition.
11th Grade - Abigail Jaroneski
Abigail is a great student. She is a great student because she has a great work ethic. She is very persistent.Things are not always easy, but Abi works until the job gets done correctly. Abi is doing a great job working with other students. Abi has been working with a 9th grader on math on her own time, even though she has her own work to do. Abi is involved with extracurricular (cheerleading), and works many hours outside of her school day She makes great decisions because she has a strong sense of right and wrong and how all students should be treated. We are very fortunate to have a student like Abi at Boyne City High School.
12th Grade - Ethan McQueen
Ethan is outstanding student every month. He is responsible, not only in doing his homework, but he owns his level of learning and understanding the most difficult concepts. He takes challenging courses and isn't afraid of working hard to learn. He questions to gain a deeper understanding of the material. He is polite and respectful and is very deserved of Student of the Month recoginition. Due to a unique and unpredictable set of circumstances regarding our 2nd year returning RSN crew either being nominated for Homecoming Court, or on the Varsity Volleyball team (or both), Ethan had to be thrust with no experience or background into the key 'Quarterback' role on the RSN Production Crew. He is the first student who has ever been asked to step directly into the Technical Director role, and had to learn and pick up a very complicated and fast moving job extremely fast with very little actual rehearsal and practice. Not only has Ethan embraced the challenge and sought out and spent the time outside of class time to pick up the technical knowledge needed, he has stepped up and shown amazing maturity, leadership and want to make the productions on his watch the best they can be.
BCHS Media Center Held a Spooky Halloween prize drawing for the high school students.
Congratulations to our Winners: Kiley Harwell and Adonae Patton They each received a Halloween basket full of fun goodies including: candy, snacks, a new book, and a gift certificate to Lake Charlevoix Coffee Company.
BCPS Families:
November is Diabetes Awareness Month, and from our Early Learners through our high school buildings, we have Boyne students and staff with Type One Diabetes (T1D). T1D is a life-long condition that has no cure.
For these reasons, Boyne City Public Schools will be promoting Diabetes Awareness for the month of November, and on World Diabetes Day, November 14th, a special "Boyne Wears Blue" day for Type One Diabetes Awareness. We will be offering these shirts and sweatshirts with proceeds going directly to supporting our very own Boyne diabetic students.
Please see the link below for purchasing a “Boyne Wears Blue” shirt. These items will be delivered on November 12/13th so that they can be worn on November 14th. As of now, the link only includes adult sizes, but we are working on adding youth sizes. Please reach out to Ellen Dart at edart@boyne.k12.mi.us with any questions.

Boyne City High School is proud to announce our Students of the Month for September! Students are nominated and voted upon by staff and honored at the end of each month to celebrate the great things they are doing within their school day and out in the community! A description of why they were nominated below.
Pictured below: Sarah Eaton (12th Grade), Lily Looze (10th Grade), and Natalie Mastin (9th Grade)
12th Grade - Sarah Eaton
Sarah went above and beyond in the planning and implementation of Spirit Week with Student Council, and as Class President. She took on a lot of tasks and completed them flawlessly, all the while keeping on top of her grades and schoolwork. There are so many things here that wouldn't be done if it weren't for Sarah! I don't think many realize just how much she does for our entire student body.
10th Grade - Lily Looze
Lily has only missed 1 day this year and is really focused on being a better student. She recognizes the value of education and tries very hard to surround herself with positive influences throughout the day. We are so proud of you Lily!
9th Grade - Natalie Mastin
Natalie is maintaining a perfect grade in US History. Natalie regularly contributes to classroom conversation and is a diligent student. In addition, her positivity and energetic personality brings a great light to the classroom culture.
