He and his family plan to move to the Lewiston area to be closer to family. "I would like to take this opportunity express my sincere gratitude to BFHS and Bonners Ferry," said Mr. Gering. "When I first arrived, you welcomed me and my family with open arms. You made my children feel welcome and at home. I have sincerely enjoyed my time here as a Badger, and have loved working with your children." Boundary County Superintendent of Schools Gary Pflueger thanked Mr. Gering and his family for their time in Bonners Ferry and their contribution to the community. "I would like at this time to thank Tim Gering for his leadership at BFHS for the last three years," said Mr. Pflueger. "Tim and Kari Kay’s family have had a great and very positive impact in our school community. All five members of the family have provided leadership in multiple areas. I sincerely wish them the best as they pursue future endeavors." The school district has had the job opening for a new principal posted for some time. Interviews of applicants for BFHS Principal will be held this Friday, May 13 in the District Office. The top five applicants, as selected by District officials, will be asked to the interviews.
