Baldwin High School has had several teachers in its time. Those either moving away or searching for more opportunities.

These 3 teachers have dedicated their livelihood to BHS for many years. 

“24 years.” Journalism teacher Kit Harris said. 

“I think I’ve worked here for 9 years.” Principal Brant Brittingham said. 

“I have worked here since 1984.” French/Spanish teacher Karen Moreau.

These 3 teachers have chosen to stick to this school for years. Not settling for the surrounding schools, why is this?

“I went to school here, then I went to Baker but then I was teaching in Topeka,” Harris said, “I liked it a lot but I wanted a smaller sized school, and an opening came up here that was in my area. So I decided to move here.”

Some teachers stayed for the small tight community.

“I love communities of this size and it’s a great place to raise a family,” Brittingham said. 

“Close to home and I liked my kids being in Baldwin Schools,” Moreau said. 

In their time at this school they have taught one specific subject or several.

“ I am teaching all journalism classes, video media, newspaper media, digital media,” Harris said. 

“I taught Biology, integrated science, and human anatomy and physiology,” Brittingham said. 

These 3 instructors have brought a lot to BHS. Spending several years and sometimes decades in the district. Teachers were asked when they were going to retire. 

“That’s a good question, probably never but, maybe in the next 10- 20 years.” Harris said. 

“ 8 years. Soon.” Brittingham said.
