Our next Woman of Impact is Elnora Gavin, a lifelong Benton Harbor resident and a proud "Tiger Mom" who has dedicated her career to education justice. As an alumn of Benton Harbor High School, Howard and Harvard Kennedy School of Government, she returned home to serve on the BHAS Board and lead the FRESH START Coalition. Her leadership has been instrumental in championing our schools. As a pillar of the community, Elnora works tirelessly to protect our institutions and invest in the next generation of leaders.

Happy Women’s History Month! This March, Benton Harbor Area Schools is celebrating the local women who change the world every day. Join us as we highlight some of them this month.

Dear Tiger Families,

March is Women’s History Month, and this week’s Snackable Letter celebrates the incredible women who lead, mentor and inspire across Benton Harbor Area Schools.

We’re also launching our new “Women of Impact” series to spotlight the powerful examples our students see right here at home.

This is communication, simplified!

At Benton Harbor Area Schools, love means learning in classrooms, laughter in the hallways, and goals being achieved together. We love our Tiger family and wish everyone a Valentine’s Day full of heart. 🐯💘

All Benton Harbor Area Schools will be closed on Monday, February 16, in observance of Presidents' Day. We look forward to welcoming our Tigers back to school on Tuesday. Enjoy the long weekend! 🧡🖤

We love seeing our DEC students engaged, focused, and following library rug rules as they build strong learning habits every day.📚✨

Every. Student. Counts! Every. Day. Counts! When students go to school all day, every day, they have better success, habits, and relationships with peers. Today is Count Day, one of the most important days of the year for our schools. Let’s make today count!
