The BES School Resource Officer, Deputy Donithan, is more than just our School Resource Officer—he is a beloved and essential part of our school community. Kind and approachable, he checks in daily with faculty and staff, always ensuring everyone feels supported. Knowing every student by name, he has built strong relationships and is a familiar, trusted presence in our building. Beyond his role in keeping us safe, he actively participates in school life—mentoring the Lego Robotics team, lending a hand in classrooms, reading to students, and even helping with the Garden Fairies Program. Deputy Donithan invests his time in helping students grow - both in learning and in leadership. Whether he’s called on or simply sees a need, he never hesitates to step in to help. His presence makes our school a better, brighter, and safer place for everyone. Thank you, Deputy Donithan!
