I am a new teacher to BKW and have found my experience so far to be very positive. This school has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I greatly enjoy all of my classes and the smaller class sizes, which allow for more student teacher interaction. Berne Knox Westerlo is always looking for ways to improve the school community.

I have worked at BKW for many years. I enjoy a close relationship with my students and thier families that is possible in a small district. I eagerly await the opportunity to move forward and improve the district as the situation presents itself. We are currently in a state of transition with the potential for great growth and change
