Alumni Achievement Award Winners

  • Mr. Alex Bennett and Dr. Dorothy Ghylin-Bennett receive the first annual Alumni Achievement Award

    Dr. Dorothy Ghylin-Bennett and Mr. Alex Bennet were chosen as the first recipients of the first annual Alumni Achievement Award in the fall of 2024.  They were honored at a School Board meeting and before the Bremerton homecoming football game in September 2023.

    Alex and Dorothy have been extraordinary assets to our school community and incredible supporters of our students and our school district for many years.  

    Mr. Alex Bennett was born in Honolulu and moved to Bremerton 81 years ago.  Alex was a graduate of East High in 1959 and later served as Math Teacher, Athletic Director, and Coach for the Bremerton School District from 1969 - 1999.  Alex also served on the WA State Math Council, was the Kiwanis of Bremerton past president, served as the BEA President, advised Key Club and held more many activities and honors.

    Dr. Dorothy Ghylin-Bennett was born in Oklahoma and moved to Bremerton 77 years ago.  Dorothy was a graduate of West High in 1963 and served as a teacher and counselor for Bremerton School District from 1968 - 1974 and then from 1978 - 1998.  Dorothy has been an advisor for the Manette Rainbow Assembly, was the Masonic teacher of the year, served as President of the West Sound Counselor’s Association and Vocational Counselor’s Association, among many other activities and honors.  Both were advisors to the National Honor Society.

    What makes Alex and Dorothy so special is their unwavering belief that every child could be an accomplishment. At one point, Dr. G had 5 academy attendees at one time while BHS students earned millions of dollars in scholarships while she was a counselor.  Alex was the first person to wear the Knight Armor and is proud to have been the First Knight ever.

    Now, they continue to celebrate former students who live around the world, advocating and standing next to them as champions of their continued success.  And in the coming weeks Alex and Dorothy will be moving to be with their son and his family as they cheer him on as the Head Basketball Coach at the University of Dallas.
