Bethlehem Serves!
🌟 Be a Light in Our Community 🌟
Bethlehem High School senior Autumn Johnson led our February Be a Light Project, sharing hope and making a difference through Hope’s Closet.
This service initiative focused on collecting new and gently used prom dresses from our community so that more students can experience the joy and confidence of prom. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we collected 50 formal dresses that will be donated to Hope’s Closet for their upcoming prom event!
A special thank you to the Bethlehem High School Beta Club, Autumn Johnson, and sponsor Mrs. Mudd for their leadership, service, and commitment to being a light for others.
When our students serve with purpose, they truly shine. ✨

New Hire!
Welcome to Bethlehem, Mr. Helmkamp!
We are excited to announce that Mr. Matt Helmkamp will join Bethlehem High School as our new Science Teacher for the 2026–2027 school year!
Mr. Helmkamp brings an incredible background to our students, including more than 25 years of experience in chemical manufacturing, project management, and quality work across Los Angeles, Houston, New Zealand, and Louisville. He studied chemical engineering at Purdue University and Caltech, where he was a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellow, and has authored three technical publications.
Before stepping fully into the classroom, Mr. Helmkamp served as a substitute teacher within the Archdiocese and JCPS and most recently as a long-term substitute teaching Algebra and Geometry right here at Bethlehem. We are thrilled to expand his role in our Science Department!
Mr. Helmkamp is passionate about academic rigor and real-world learning. His vision includes:
Field experiences to see science in action at the UofL Medical School, industrial plants, and laboratories
Encouraging student participation in local science fairs
Hands-on, engaging experiments
His commitment to the integration of faith and science was strengthened through his participation in the Saint Albert Initiative at Bellarmine, and he remains deeply involved in his church, leading Bible studies and serving his community. He has also volunteered with Junior Achievement, coached basketball, and judged science fairs.
Please join us in welcoming Mr. Helmkamp as he helps inspire the next generation of Bethlehem scientists!

You are invited!
Students, get ready to cheer on our girls basketball team at the 5th Region Tournament! If you would like to ride the pep bus to the game on Friday, March 6, 2026 at 6:00PM EST to Central Hardin High School in Elizabethtown, please be sure to fill out the sign-up form. The bus will depart at 4:30PM EST (please arrive by 4:15PM EST) and will return at approximately 8:20PM EST. We will also share departure reminders in the announcements and in the Daily tomorrow and Thursday. Space is limited to 30 students only, and riders will travel with the cheerleaders. The cost is $5.00 to ride the bus, and we must have a teacher chaperone both on the bus and at the game in order for the pep bus to take place. Please remember to bring money for your game ticket and concessions, and be prepared in case the concession stand is cashless by having both cash and card available. Let’s pack the stands and support our team! 💙💛 #wearebethlehem #lightingtheway
