Bedford North Lawrence High School serves the northern portion of Lawrence County, Indiana and is the Home of the STARS. Each school day, BNL transforms itself into one of the area’s larger communities, with about 1,600 students and over 100 faculty and staff to meet their curricular and extra-curricular needs. We take great pride in having achieved the status of an Indiana Four Star School the past four years. Our vision for BNL students is that each will continuously excel in a global society by being:

• a self-motivated learner
• a critical thinker
• an effective communicator
• a skilled collaborator
• a responsible and culturally aware citizen
• a technologically capable creator

We look forward to this school year as another opportunity to embrace the changes that come about not only in the lives of our students, but also in the landscape of public education in Indiana and our nation. A constant in this changing environment is our mission to ensure that every student works to complete requirements for graduation, developing skills necessary for college, careers, and life.
