Administration Welcome

Dear Bloomfield Hills High School Community,

It has been my honor to serve as the principal of Bloomfield Hills High School since August of 2023. During this time, I have been inspired by incredible talent, resilience, and dedication of our students, staff, and families. Together, we have worked to create a community where every student belongs and has the opportunity to excel.

As both an educator and a parent, I know how important it is for a school to feel like home. I have loved getting to know our students, learning about their passions, and celebrating the many ways they contribute to the life of BHHS. Whether it’s excelling in the classroom, competing on the field, performing on stage, or leading through service, our students continually demonstrate what it means to be a Black Hawk. 

As we move forward together, my commitment remains the same: to foster strong relationships, to listen and learn from our students and families, and to ensure every student's needs are met. Thank you for allowing me the privilege of serving this community. I look forward to continuing our work together and to the many successes yet to come.

With Black Hawk Pride,

Dan Hartley, Ed.D.
