The March Student of the Month at Bunker Hill High School is Austyn Michael Eddinger. Austyn is the only child of Sandra Eddinger and Brian Eddinger. Austyn is a member of National Honor Society, FFA, FCA, and helped the drama club with their most recent performance. Outside of the classroom, Austyn enjoys working on cars, playing airsoft, skating, writing and gaming with friends. Austyn plans to attend Blackburn College and get a degree in the field of engineering. He plans to become a mechatronics technician because he dreams to build robots to help people. His fondest high school memory is very hard to narrow down, but he suggests it must be one of the end-of-school celebrations as they are always fun.
Due to the weather conditions, both the softball game against Southwestern, and the boys tennis match against Althoff have been cancelled for today, 3/14/23.
