With a twinkle in her blue eyes, a stride that could lead an army, Mrs. Sandra White carries out her teaching duties daily at BHS.She is the lead teacher in the CCC (Calhoun County Challenge) classroom and along with her co-workers; she finds her days to be very active, full of life and on the go!

You might have seen Mrs. White and Joe prancing down the street in a BHS Homecoming parade or more recently participating in the Redneck parade. Traveling is another passion of Mrs. White. She has been to the great states of Alaska and Hawaii, has ventured to Canada, Mexico, England, France, and has Italy scheduled for 2012! Her favorite book is anything written by Tom Clancy? That’s right! She finds his stories of the possibilities of what could happen in our country very captivating.Mrs. White certainly has a special and extraordinary spot at BHS.
