Announcement

A few tidings as the school buses sit ideal as we enter the first weeks of July.
Once again congratulations to the Class of 2008-the largest graduating class in 20 years at BHS. We hope our senior class members continue to learn and grow as they enter a new phase in their lives. We all enjoyed the graduation celebration on June 7th and we were very proud of the accomplishments of our seniors.

There is so much to be thankful for @ BHS. As we develop the calendar for the 2008/2009 school year, it is truly remarkable to reflect on the wide variety of school activities, programs and events we have at our school. Our activity program provides our students with opportunities to share their talents and interests with fellow students, our faculty and the school community. The showcasing of these talents is an important educational experience for students, as well as a wonderful contribution to our school community. Student Life at BHS goes far beyond the classroom learning experiences. We continue to stress the importance of Involvement in school activities as a premise for student success at BHS.

The richness in the educational experience for our students is founded in the faculty members that serve as mentors, advisors and coaches to our student body. Our PRIDE mission statement supports involvement and we feel it appropriate to acknowledge the quality time and energy that our faculty members invest in leading these co-curricular program offerings. "There is something for everyone at BHS". It is the culture of our school.

The Pride in our school bursts through the classroom walls and into the hallways, offices, kitchens, buses and fields on our campus. Everyone in our organization contribute to the educational experience of our students. The pride that our students demonstrate in their school is shared amongst all of the faculty and staff that work at BHS.

To the custodians, maintenance staffs, the Braintree Park Department, Highway Department and the Braintree Fire & Police Department all contribute their resources, time and pride in keeping BHS shining. We are very proud of how our students respect our school facility and property. A partnership of sorts, in maintaining the pride we have in our school.

Lastly, a special thank you to our parents and students, for your kind words of thanks and appreciation to our faculty throughout the school year. Our faculty walked proudly as participants in the Class of 2008's graduation ceremony. We were energized with the applause received when teachers and administrators were acknowledged. Uniquely, this spirit of appreciation is especially important to our newly trained teachers. As the world, and our community grows smaller in many ways, our teachers come from all over the country; "from sea to shining sea", literally. It is part of the educational experience that our school, and most importantly our students, experience in meeting adults and teachers from other communities and regions of our country. "Yes, there is a world outside Braintree". More purposely, because of the enthusiasm of our students and parents, these young professionals now call Braintree home. We can now welcome them into our family as WAMPS!!!

Our academic leaders and administrators will now begin the analysis and reflection of student performance data and review curriculum, instruction and programs in preparation for the upcoming school year. As we review expectations and the accomplishments of our students and faculty, it is exciting and rewarding to look back on what BHS accomplished. These accomplishments lend themselves to new goals and expectations for achievement in all aspects of our school program. Educational excellence is the fuel that drives our mission.
