Remembering Heather

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of beloved teacher, mentor, colleague, and friend, Ms. Heather Rothney. 

Heather passed away last Tuesday, after a lengthy and hard-fought battle with cancer. Her dedication to her students, colleagues, and BCS shone through in everything she did—and stayed strong throughout the last three years that followed her diagnosis. Heather chose to pursue teaching to follow in the footsteps of her mother and she touched the lives of all she met at BCS. Click here to read messages from a few members of the BCS community on whom Heather had a big impact.
 
Last Friday, members of the BCS community attended a special visitation for Heather and a replay of the ceremony is available here for those who wish to pay tribute.
 
"Rest In Peace Ms. Rothney, you will be deeply missed, and forever cherished." -Josh Bray, BCS'15
