So excited for you Mrs.Kean

🎉 Meet the New Chieftains!

Say hello to Ms. Hanna Kean, who will be teaching Algebra at Bellefontaine High School!
Ms. Kean is beginning her 4th year in education and is excited to bring her experience and passion for math to BHS.
“I chose Bellefontaine City Schools because it’s close to home, and my husband and I have lived in the community for the past three years. With the recent addition of our son, it felt like the right time to teach closer to home. I’m excited about the opportunity to serve the community we’re proud to be a part of!”
Outside of school, Ms. Kean enjoys spending quality time with her husband, their son, and their two chocolate labs. You’ll often find them cheering on local teams at football, volleyball, and basketball games—or gathering with friends and family.
🟥⬛ Let’s give Ms. Kean a warm Chieftain welcome!
