Principal's Corner

Welcome to the 2026-2027 School Year!

Greetings Bob Hope Elementary School Community,

I am excited to welcome you to the 2026-2027 school year! Whether you are returning to BHES or joining us for the first time, we are thrilled to have you as part of our BHES Shisa family.

To our new families who have recently PCS'd to Okinawa, welcome to the DoDEA Pacific South family. We look forward to supporting your transition and helping you feel at home. To our returning families, thank you for your continued partnership and support.

At BHES, we remain committed to providing high-quality learning experiences while fostering a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment for every student. Throughout the year, I will continue sharing important updates through email, social media, and school communications to keep our community informed and connected.

We are also excited to welcome our new Assistant Principal, Dr. Whitney Stephens, to the BHES team. Dr. Stephens brings a wealth of educational experience and a strong elementary education background. Her passion for student success and collaborative leadership will be a tremendous asset to our school community.

To our students, I cannot wait to see your smiling faces and hear about your summer adventures. Get ready for a year filled with learning, growth, friendships, and fun!

On behalf of our incredible teaching and support staff, thank you for being part of the Bob Hope Elementary School family. Together, let's make 2026-2027 a fantastic year for our Shisas.

Go SHISAS!
