BV West Principal's Message

Josh_Martin

 

BV West Community,

My name is Josh Martin and I am the building principal at BV West Elementary.  This is my 11th year in education.  I graduated from THE Ohio State University for both my undergraduate and graduate degree. Before coming to BV West, I taught math and science, was a math specialist, and served as middle school athletic director at Olentangy Liberty Middle School. I served as assistant principal for 2 years before becoming principal for the 2024-2025 school year. I have absolutely loved my time here at West, and look forward to year 2 as principal!

A Little About BV West:

The community amongst the student, staff, families, and other community members at West is second to none. We all strive to follow and teach our school expectations, RESPECTFUL, RESPONSIBLE, and SAFE, every day. All of our rules and expectations center around these words, so we encourage families to talk with your students about what each of these words mean in school, in the community, and at home.

We aim to serve each student by providing them with the instruction, support, and care they need to grow as learners. We have an incredible staff of teachers and support staff here at West. Each member of our team truly cares about students, and we strive to make each decision based on what is best for our students.  

Our community is what makes West a truly special place. We hope that you will get involved with our PTO, volunteer in your student’s class or for a field trip, or come in for a lunch with your student. We value forming strong partnerships with the families of our students, and we hope you can find a way to get involved in the great things that are happening at West!  

Go Barons!

Josh Martin, Principal
