Dear Butler Bulldogs,
Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! We are thrilled to open our doors once again to the incredible students, families, and staff who make up the phenomenal David W. Butler High School community. Whether you are returning for another amazing year or joining us for the first time, we are excited to partner with you in our continued journey of Pursuing Excellence.
Last year, we set a high bar — and this year, we are determined to climb even higher. At Butler, Pursuing Excellence isn’t just a motto — it’s a mindset. It means showing up, giving your best, and growing every single day. This year, we will continue to focus on:
- Academic Excellence – Every student deserves a learning experience that is challenging, engaging, and prepares them for a bright future.
- Consistent Attendance – Being present and on time every day is one of the most important steps toward success. Every class counts. Every Bulldog matters.
- Strong Support Systems – From classroom teachers to counselors, coaches, and staff — we are here to support every student, every step of the way.
- Strong Support Systems – From classroom teachers to counselors, coaches, and staff — we are here to support every student, every step of the way.
We believe in building a school community that works together, lifts each other up, and keeps moving forward. Each of us — students, parents, staff, and community partners — plays a role in making Butler the exceptional place it is. Our goal this year is simple: to grow stronger together and get better every day.
Let’s make 2025–2026 a year filled with learning, leadership, laughter, and growth. We are proud of our past, energized by the present, and focused on an even brighter future — because here at David W. Butler, we are Pursuing Excellence in everything we do. Welcome back, Bulldogs — let’s make this our best year yet!
