From the desk of Eric Lawrence: BHS’s Next Principal

Bayless High School Community,

It is with great honor and excitement that I introduce myself as the next principal of Bayless High School. I am truly blessed to serve a school community with such a deep history and a continued commitment to providing students with opportunities to become the best versions of themselves.

I currently reside in Jefferson County with my wife and two children. My passion has always been deeply rooted in education, mentorship and leadership. I believe all students deserve equitable access to education in an environment that is safe and conducive to learning. Becoming a father within the past few years has deepened that passion.

For the past 11 years, I have worked as an educator, leader, athletic director, coach and sponsor. I am coming up on the end of my fourth year at Bayless High School, and I look forward to continuing to support and collaborate with our students, fami- lies and community. I am committed to embracing the positive traditions and practices in place here at Bayless High School and continuing to move our building forward.

I look forward to working with all stakeholders to prepare our students with the education, work ethic and character traits they need for tomorrow. I am honored and humbled to be selected to serve as the next principal of Bayless High School as we continue to build on previous accomplishments and reach for excellence.

Eric Lawrence
