Principal's Welcome

Dear Thunder Families,

Welcome to a new school year at Buhach Colony High School, home of the Thunder!  We are proud to begin this academic journey with each of you as we work together to ensure every student becomes college and career ready—prepared not just for graduation, but for the opportunities and challenges of a rapidly evolving world.

At Buhach Colony High School, we set high expectations for our students, challenging them through rigor and depth of knowledge across all content areas. Our commitment to academic excellence is matched by our belief that learning must also be relevant. That’s why our students will build strong foundations in literacy, critical thinking, and real-world problem solving, while also gaining the digital fluency and ethical awareness needed to navigate a future shaped by artificial intelligence and emerging technologies.

Whether students are exploring advanced coursework, career and technical education pathways, leadership roles, or collaborative innovation projects, they’ll be supported by a team of educators who are passionate about helping them thrive—both in school and beyond.

This year, we encourage our students to step into their potential, rise to every challenge, and take pride in their growth. Together, as a community, we will move forward with strength, purpose, and unity.

Let’s make this year unforgettable. Roll Thunder!

With pride and excitement,
 

Kyle Mesa
