Principal's Message

Dear Bullpup Families,

 

Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year!  We’re excited to begin another year filled with opportunities to learn, grow, and make meaningful connections.  Thank you for your partnership as the foundation for student success is a strong partnership between home and school. Through open communication and collaboration, together we can provide the consistency and care our students need to thrive.

 

To ensure every student has the tools and environment they need to succeed, our focus remains on four core pillars:

 

  • A Culture of Belonging: Fostering a safe, inclusive, and positive campus climate where every student feels seen, heard, and valued.
 
  • Good Attendance: Good attendance is the first step to success!
 
  • Academic Excellence: Offering dynamic, rigorous coursework; from CTE pathways to Advanced Placement and concurrent enrollment, tailored to prepare students for college, trade careers, or whatever path they choose.

 
  • Extracurricular Engagement: Encouraging participation in our wide array of athletics, fine arts, clubs, and service organizations to build leadership and community pride.

 

On behalf of the faculty and staff, it is my absolute privilege to welcome you to McPherson High School. Whether you are returning to familiar hallways or joining our Bullpup family for the very first time, we are thrilled to kick off another inspiring school year together!

 

Warmly,
Dr. Audrey A. Herbst
