💙 In Loving Memory of Mr. David Schroeder 💙

“And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.” — The Beatles

The BH/BHRA family is deeply saddened by the passing of Mr. David Schroeder, who dedicated 16 years of his life to our school community before retiring in 2024.

Mr. Schroeder’s commitment to his students was unmatched. His passion for music — especially his love for The Beatles — filled our halls and classrooms with joy, creativity, and inspiration. That love was contagious, and his students adored him for it.

More than a teacher, Dave was a mentor, a motivator, and a source of light for so many. His impact will continue to be felt in every note played, every song sung, and every student whose life he touched.

Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with his family, friends, colleagues, and all who had the privilege of learning from and knowing him. 💙

We would love for you to share your memories and pictures of Mr. Schroeder in the comments as we celebrate his life and legacy.
