Bunker Hill District

We are pleased to announce that Shelley Yates and Gina Bassett were presented with two LifeVac stop choking devices today. The devices, located at Wolf Ridge and BHHS cafeterias, were donated by the Greg Holthaus Memorial Fund, based in Highland, IL. The goal of the memorial fund is to provide training, testing, and equipment vital to preventing & treating sudden cardiac arrest and donate to programs that help area youth. Thank you for the donation!

BH8 has been advised by our community partners at the BH Township that annual oil and chipping will begin next week. Exercise caution as slight delays may be possible.

Bunker Hill 8 Welcomes New Board Member The Bunker Hill CUSD #8 Board of Education gained a new member after the recent consolidated election in April. Newly elected to the Board for a 4-year term is Mrs. Jamie Payne, who has lived in the BH district since 2009. Jamie’s Bunker Hill connection goes back generations for the Payne family. She is the mother to three BH students: Gracelyn, Colton and Denton, all of whom currently attend school at Wolf Ridge. In addition to her deep BH connection, Jamies is excited to bring her experiences as both a former educator and a current financial consultant to her role as Board member. “I look forward to giving back to this community,” Jamie said. “Giving back by service is a large part of my core values. More importantly, I want to use my voice as a board member to ensure that ALL kids in the BH district reach their fullest potential.” Welcome to the Bunker Hill CUSD 8 learning community! #WeAreBH #BH8Rising
