Principal's Welcome

Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year!

Our Butler High School is truly a special community of wonderful people – you, your parents/guardians and family, and our staff, with the support of our entire Vandalia-Butler City School District, City of Vandalia, and Butler Township. Together, we accomplish incredible achievements!

Success is intentionally earned through hard work and enthusiastic perseverance. Rarely does it happen by chance. Its rewards are tremendous, so take advantage of every opportunity to attain it. Make this school year the best so far! 

Academically, create your personal dream of your future and challenge yourself to turn that vision into reality. Commit to the pursuit of excellence as you use these high school years to discover the excitement of your future career and corresponding path of college or other form of post-secondary education. Put forth your finest effort each day, realizing that every grade affects your official transcript, the permanent record of your high school scholastic performance.

Butler offers a great deal of opportunities for you. Enjoy them by getting involved in the wide variety of our school teams, clubs, and organizations. Be an active participant in several of them this school year and enjoy their rewards. And, when you are not on the field, court or stage, attend as many of our school events as you can. Fill the stands, cheer as a united student block for your fellow Aviators, go to the drama and music performances, attend our school’s social events – and through them all, create positive memories of this school year which you will cherish forever.

Between now and your graduation day, when you will join the ranks of our successful alumni, enjoy the experience of the greatness of Butler!

We wear our Purple with Pride because ---

 

We ARE Aviators!
