Dear Bernard Community,
I want to let you know that I will be retiring at the end of this school year. My years in the Mehlville School District began in 1995 when I began substitute teaching. From there, I taught English Language Arts at Buerkle Middle, then moved to Bernard when it opened in 2003. My administrative years at Bernard from 2009-2019 have been the most rewarding and fulfilling of my career. I have truly enjoyed leading an amazing staff, celebrating learning with thousands of the best kids ever, and supporting families through the middle school years. I feel blessed to be able to call Bernard my family. I will always keep this community close to my heart, but I am confident that the future of this school is built on a solid foundation. Thank you to everyone who supported our kids and our school. Bernard will always be the home we are proud to call ours.
Sincerely,
Lori Sullivan
Principal, Bernard Middle School
