BHSC Teacher Feature Friday
🔎 Each week, a central office committee reviews nominations and selects one educator from a rotating school (BES, HES, BHS, HHS). Winners receive a $50 Amazon gift card courtesy of the Kolton Kaiser Foundation. The nominator’s identity is revealed to the honoree on announcement day to keep the fun and suspense.
This week, the BHSC Teacher Feature Friday spotlights Borden High School.
Doc Nash, BHS, PE teacher
Experience: 20 years at BHS and 3 years at Austin
College/University: Olney Central College and Manchester University
Fun Facts: Mr. Nash loves farming, hunting, and driving a dump truck in the summers!
"My favorite part of BHS is seeing students succeed both in school and in sports. I have had several 'proud' moments that include a lot of basketball memories, but when non-athlete students come to say hi or tell me life stories, that is my ultimate 'win.' I love the relationships our staff develops with our students while they are here and long after they graduate, " says Mr. Nash.
Mr. Nash was nominated anonymously, but the family gave permission to share their words. "He is so much more than a teacher, coach, or a bus driver; he’s a consistent, bright spot in the lives of students. Whether he’s coaching at the high school or encouraging an elementary student at biddy ball camp, he treats every child with the same kindness and respect. He has a special talent for reaching the kids who need it most—breaking down walls built by trauma with nothing more than a laugh and a genuine connection. He’s a reminder to everyone that relationships always come first."
Congratulations, Mr. Nash!
Nominations will reopen next school year for BHSC Teacher Features for each of the four schools.

Matt Vick, BHS, Math Teacher
Experience: 15 years with BHSC, 12 of those at BHS
College/University: Indiana University Southeast
Fun facts: Coach Vick says, "A lot of my students don't know that I taught at Henryville at the beginning of my career. Also, I help on our family farm, and we are known for raising cantaloupes (about 40,000 plants each year)."
Mr. Vick says, "My favorite part of teaching is interacting with the students. Whether it's talking sports, their current job, or even if it's about math, it's fun talking with my students. I know math can be boring for a lot of kids, so I try to make it as fun and down to earth as possible."
Mr. Vick was nominated by a colleague whose own 3 children have all had Mr. Vick as a high school teacher. The Saylor Family wrote, "Mr. Vick has taught all three of our children over the course of several years at Borden. He has always been someone our children feel comfortable confiding in and leaning on. Mr. Vick has always been approachable. My children have asked Mr. Vick math questions when they are no longer in his class. One of my daughters was his cadet teacher and Mr. Vick helped grow her love and teaching and math during her time with him. We cannot express how thankful we are for a teacher like Matt Vick at Borden High School. "
Mr. Vick is sometimes better known as Coach Vick - in addition to teaching math at Borden High School, he serves as head coach for the BHS girls' basketball team and led them to back-to-back 1A State Championship wins. Mr. Vick also often drives a bus for BHSC to help out.
Thank you for everything you do to support the students of BHSC, Mr. Vick!

Morgan Cope, BHS, Art
Experience: 20 years at BHS!
College/University: DePauw University
Fun fact: I originally wasn't planning on being a teacher. I wanted to work in an art gallery and interned in NYC in college.
For Mrs. Cope, identifying her favorite part of her job is easy. "I really enjoy connecting with students, teaching them about art, and seeing them do things they didn't think they could achieve. I’m incredibly proud of the artwork my students produce, but I’m just as proud of the relationships we build."
The family who nominated Mrs. Cope asked to remain anonymous but shared that "Mrs. Cope helps us in her classes with what she teaches, but she also works really hard to connect with other students who are not in art classes during study hall so that she can help them. She will work with us on any of our classes, even when they aren't classes she teaches." Mrs. Cope is also a class sponsor, sells tickets at basketball games, and calls the office to make sure someone checks in on kids who are having a rough day.
Mrs. Cope, thank you for being real, being kind, and making sure everyone feels like they belong!

BHS students don't just study history—they stepped into it on Tuesday!
In Mrs. Craft’s English class, students participated in a powerful
The Lady Braves will travel to West Washington tonight to take on South Central in the first round of Sectional play. Tip off is at 6:00 PM. Let's Go Braves!
🎨 Thinking BIG in Intro to 3D Art! 🎨
Mrs. Morgan Cope’s Intro to 3D Art students are turning everyday objects into larger-than-life statements, inspired by Swedish-born Pop artist Claes Oldenburg—best known for monumentalizing ordinary items, including his iconic 45-foot Clothespin sculpture near Philadelphia City Hall.
Using paper mâché, students embraced Oldenburg’s bold style by scaling up the familiar in imaginative ways. From a towering queen chess piece to an oversized WD-40 can and a Stanley cup, these sculptures prove that creativity grows when students are encouraged to see the ordinary in new ways.
We’re loving the craftsmanship, collaboration, and creative confidence on display!
As part of National School Counseling Week, we’re celebrating the dedicated counselors who support our students academically, socially, and emotionally.
Borden High School Principal Mr. Charles Gardner praised Mrs. Cavins and her work at BHS:
"A huge shoutout to Borden Jr./Sr. High School counselor, Amanda Cavins, for her incredible dedication to our students. Mrs. Cavins plays a vital role in helping BHS students achieve school success by guiding them through their academic planning and decision-making. Whether she’s helping students navigate diploma types and requirements, discovering scholarship opportunities, or coordinating college credit, she ensures every student is on a path toward their future goals.
Mrs. Cavins maintains great relationships with many outside partners including Ivy Tech, IUS, and the Prosser Career Center. These partnerships provide our students with direct access to specialized vocational training and dual-credit courses.
Outside of school hours, Mrs. Cavins is a constant at athletic events, supporting students and helping every event run smoothly.
We are so grateful for all she does to put students first. Thank you, Mrs. Cavins, for everything you do to prepare our students for life after high school!"
Mrs. Cavins, thank you for choosing to support BHSC students!
