Principal's Message

A Message from our Principal


To say that I’m excited to be the principal of the Best School Ever (BSE) would be an understatement—I am truly living my dream every day. I am fully committed to ensuring that Boiling Springs Elementary School is a place where every individual feels SAFE, LOVED, and SUCCESSFUL. I genuinely believe that every child brings something special to the table, and it is our responsibility as educators to help them flourish. Every child can learn, and it is our privilege to support them along that journey.
The Ruppe Family
BSE is one of the largest schools in our district, but we are truly a big family—and that’s exactly the way I like it! High-quality, differentiated instruction is a non-negotiable for us. While we are focused on shaping tomorrow’s academic leaders, we are equally dedicated to nurturing kind, respectful, and compassionate individuals. I want every person at BSE to embody our district’s mission of being a “Difference Maker.” Together, through high expectations, consistent modeling, and a strong commitment to serving others, we can accomplish this goal. We ask for your continued support in this important work!

On a personal note, I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Music Education from North Greenville University, a Masters degree in Educational Administration from the University of South Carolina (Go Gamecocks!), and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Liberty University. My wife and I, along with our son, live, work, attend church, and shop in this community—so the success of BSE is deeply personal to me. This is our community, too.

In addition to my role at school, I serve as the Director of Music and Media at our church in Inman. As a family, we have a standard poodle named Molly, love to travel, enjoy new adventures, and cherish spending time together. Personally, I love cooking, traveling, and playing the piano.

Boiling Springs Elementary thrives on strong partnerships with our parents, guardians, and community members. I firmly believe that it takes a village to raise a child, and together, we can ensure the greatest success for your child. I look forward to strengthening the already wonderful school-home relationships and having you play an active and valuable role in your child’s educational journey.

I am excited to continue our tradition of excellence for years to come! Please never hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

Always proud to be a Bulldog,
Dr. Caleb Ruppe
