Butler, PA. Obviously, Butler, PA is now in your view for a variety of reasons that before, not many people knew I was from there, let alone what Butler, PA was known for. Yet there are many exctiging things, positive things, that did, and have come out of Butler, PA.
Let me point something out – returning to my hometown and preparing ideas for our 1990 Butler High School Class reunion- the first time I had been to my high school SINCE 1990 – I was surprised and grateful for the Principal and Assistant Principal taking time to meet with us (Thanks Evan and Sherrie!) and recognizing the changes Butler, PA has had in demographics and the impacts on Butler High.
Some information on these two leaders:
Some exciting things you will start hearing about what is happening at our BHS –
Thank to Principal Jason Huffman (Inducted into the Redbank Sports Hall of Fame in 2021)
Info about Mr. Huffman:
A four-year starter in football, he was the starting quarterback as a freshman on the 1991 team that won Redbank Valley’s first District 9 title. He was also a starter on the 1992 team that won another district title. He was a First-Team All-Conference at quarterback as a freshman and senior, Second-Team All-Conference as punter as a sophomore and First Team as a junior and First-Team All-Conference as kicker as sophomore, junior and senior and was named KSAC Back of the Year his senior season. At graduation, he was also the all-time leading scorer in Bulldogs basketball (currently third) with 1,253 points.
“What I want to focus on tonight is being humble and being not totally about myself,” Huffman said. “The power of positive people is why we’re all hear tonight. The common themes are a strong family, check. Tons of support, check and most importantly you have coaches and people in your life that make you do things that you’re pretty sure that you can never do.”
“I love being around kids,” Huffman continued. “I’m the crazy guy that’s agree to have about 911 11-and-12 year-olds in middle school and I love every day. And at the same time, I try to coach as much as I possibly can coach.”
and Assistant Principal (Class of 1989 – Mr. Doug Ford) and on the School Community Committee for Organization and MC for the Butler Tornados 2024 Awards Ceremony:
They both took the time to meet with us as a reunion planning group and provided endless insight into what BHS wants to accomplish. Evan will be presenting you with some cool and generous opportunities they are willing to provide for our Class of 1990.
However – meeting Ethan Morton hosting a boys basketball camp
of all ages truly defines the direction that BHS is taking in the community. I do believe, in attending the BHS 1990 reunion in June 28, 2025, we as the class of 1990 have a chance to help make an impact that will positively impact our legacy at the 100th graduation class. Also to make amends for things that did occur that we wanted to occur while there. I do believe here is a chance of how we can make a mark, each of us, but I was pretty proud of what one alumni, Ethan Morton is doing as a legacy as well!
Ethan Morton’s path to Colorado
Sports is one way to get youth to support them in their future. We have so many alumni from the class of 1990 that have skills and abilities from sewing, to investments, to IT tech, to drama and theatre arts, to SO MUCH MORE – I hope I can help expose those from our class, and others, to support the legacy of what can be and is becoming in the future.
