Welcome to the 2025–26 school year at Bigfork Elementary School!
This year, our theme is “See Us Shine!” Together, we look forward to doing our best work, growing as learners, and being our best selves as a school family.
My name is Brenda Clarke, and I am beginning my 14th year as Elementary Principal here in Bigfork and my 29th year in education. Over the years, I have served as a tutor, teacher, assistant principal, and principal. I’ve been married for 33 years and have two adult sons. When I’m not at school, you’ll often find me enjoying the outdoors or playing with my dog.
At Bigfork Elementary, we take pride in supporting the social, emotional, and academic success of every student. We value our partnership with families and encourage you to be actively involved in our school community. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions at 406-837-7412.
Warm regards,
Brenda Clarke
Principal, Bigfork Elementary School
