At Monday night's Bridgeport City Council meeting, the BHS Jazz Ensemble was presented a proclamation for being chosen as the Honor Jazz Ensemble for West Virginia. The ensemble also earned that honor in 2009, 2011, 2012. Director Chris Hayslette and his musicians accepted the proclamation by Mayor Greer, who also presented each member with a key to the city. Council also recognized Mallory Bell, a Johnson Elementary fifth grader who won the 2016 West Virginia Engineering Week Competition held at West Virginia University. She also was presented a key to the city.
Also, the newest member of the city’s police force, 21-year-old Kristopher Wariner, was sworn into his position. Mayor Greer did the honors and Police Chief John Walker said Bridgeport is fortunate to have Wariner on board. A brand new graduate of the West Virginia State Police Academy, Wariner is presently completing the field training officer program and will start patrolling in mid-August.
