Message from the Principal

---

Greetings to our Black Hawk community! It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I welcome you to BH Schools, as your principal. With 12 years serving as principal and nearly three decades dedicated to education, I am honored to continue supporting our students, staff, and families in achieving excellence.

My journey in education began in 1996 in Orangeville, IL, where I started my career as a teacher and coach at Orangeville Sr./Jr. High School. After four rewarding years teaching middle school science at Darlington Elementary/Middle School, I found my way to Black Hawk in 2001 as a high school science teacher and coach. This community holds a special place in my heart, as both my wife, Tonya, and I are proud alumni of Black Hawk High School, graduating in 1990. Our commitment to this district runs deep; all four of our children—Brody, Cayden, Lucas, and Mya—have had the privilege of attending Black Hawk Schools.

As we embark on another exciting school year, I invite you to join us in celebrating our achievements, embracing our challenges, and continuing to build upon the strong foundation of excellence that defines Black Hawk School District.

Go Warriors!

Mr. Cory Milz
Principal
