Meet Our Health & Wellness Team
Devon Kilgore – Athletic Trainer & PE Teacher
I’ve been a certified athletic trainer since 2013 and bring over a decade of experience supporting student-athletes at both the high school and collegiate levels. I’m certified in CPR and AED and always prepared to respond to emergency situations. At BSH, I serve as the athletic trainer and a physical education teacher, helping students stay healthy, active, and safe.
Lauren Smith – School Nurse
I’ve been a registered nurse since 2011, with a professional background in critical care and surgical services, including pediatric care. I hold certifications in Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS), and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS). Since 2022, I’ve proudly served as the BSH school nurse and sponsor of the Red Cross Club. I’m passionate about supporting the physical and emotional well-being of our students.
