The BKW Alumni page celebrates the journeys and achievements of Berne-Knox-Westerlo graduates beyond their time at school. It serves as a place to stay connected, reflect on shared experiences, and recognize the lasting impact of a BKW education.

Where Are They Now?

We are proud of our BKW alum and hope you will take a few moments to tell us about your life since you left BKW. Please note your contact information is only for school use and will not be publicly shared.

BKW Alumni Updates

We Are Proud of Our Bulldogs!

Class of 1981 alumna Clara Putzig Mizenko shared this news in Sept. 2021:

“I’m married to Glen and have three kids – Kim (1990), Nick (1996) and Rachel (1996). I live in Evergreen, Colorado (CO), up in the mountains. Since college in CO, I’ve lived in Texas (three times), Louisiana (two times), California, England and Colorado. I worked as an environmental engineer and a math teacher, and I’m now retired. I met my husband at Colorado School of Mines in Golden, CO. All of our children graduated from Colorado School of Mines.”

Coach Galvin shared this great news in May, 2021:

“Congratulations to BKW graduate Kristen Norray on her record-breaking accomplishments as a member of the Roger Williams Track and Field team!”

BKW alumnus Joshua VonHaugg sent this update in early 2021:

“I graduated from BKW in 2013. I then went on to Hilbert College in Hamburg, NY, and obtained my Bachelor of Science degree (summa cum laude) in Forensic Science/Crime Scene Investigation in 2017. While in college, I was involved in the Peer Leader program (mentoring first year college students), a forensic science tutor and Advertiser of the Criminal Justice/Forensic Science Association. In the fall of 2017 I was hired as a Forensic Scientist with the Minneapolis Police Department in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where I still work. This was a dream of mine since I was in high school at BKW. The Criminal Justice program at Schoharie BOCES and Forensic Science class I took at BKW were what helped me realize this was the career I wanted.”
