Mr. Bohnet didn’t hesitate when he was offered “a great opportunity” to be principal of Osceola High School.
“The fundamental concept is very intriguing,” said Mr. Bohnet, graduate of Olivet College and Nova Southeastern University. After Mr. Bohnet’s sister, a math teacher at Clearwater Fundamental informed him about the fundamental program and the way it operates, Mr. Bohnet developed a desire to “work in this type of setting.”
For the past six years, Mr. Bohnet was principal of Dixie Hollins High School. “It was a good school,” said Mr. Bohnet. “We improved on a lot of things.” However, Mr. Bohnet is only looking “to improve what’s already a good thing” at Osceola High School.
“Right away, not too many changes,” said Mr. Bohnet. “I like all the things that are in place.”
The only immediate change will be the dress code. “We’re going back to the true Fundamental dress code,” stated Mr. Bohnet. All students will be required to wear ankle-length pants, meaning no capris. Girls can wear skirts or dresses, but they must fall no more than two inches above the knee. Girls’ shoulders must be covered, and boys must wear sleeves. As for the shoes, no flip flops will be allowed and sandals must have straps on the back, same as last year.
The new principal of OHS will be anything but invisible in the halls this year, considering his six feet, nine inch frame. “It’s great,” said Mr. Bohnet, “I can see over everything. No one can miss me.”
Quick fun facts about Mr. Bohnet:
- His favorite sport to play, and watch, is golf.
- His two favorite sports teams are the Rays (baseball) and Magic (basketball).
- He enjoys the beach and swimming.
- He has two sons: Cody, a recent graduate of Dixie who will soon attend SPC, and his eldest, Shawn, who is 22 years of age.
