Spring hopefully is right around the corner as we turn another page in the school calendar. Our athletic program will celebrate the efforts of our winter athletes and the spring season will provide new opportunities for students to interact with teammates and make new friendships. This also sets the stage for competition, teamwork and the showcasing of our students talents and interests. We hope everyone experiences success and finds rewards that go beyond winning.
The spring in many ways is the beginning of the end! The long road from September to June reaches a high point in the March/April transition. Students will begin reflecting on their school performance and planning for next year begins. Seniors move on to their next destination, Juniors look forward to being Seniors and our Freshmen are now experienced high school students. Our school also will begin celebrating and acknowledging excellence in a variety of school programs. Recognizing outstanding dedication to learning, preparation for scholarship and academic awards programs and seniors receiving college acceptances are only a few of the pinnacle events of the spring. We hope students reflect on all of the expectations for success mentioned in our daily commitment to BHS PRIDE.
This time of year also promotes the importance of our school’s mission statement PRIDE. Parents will be attending school events that acknowledge excellence in their son/daughters school performances. Student awareness of respect and responsibility will come to the forefront as the administration prepares for the excitement that spring and Prom Season promote. We hope that our students “Make Good Decisions” and have life long memories of this important time in their life. We also celebrate student involvement through a variety of programs and events that bring great joy to our school community. Involvement gives our school energy to meet the academic expectations that drive our school’s commitment to excellence for all students.
Our faculty looks forward to meeting with parents at our March 18th Parent –
Teacher Conferences. Let us all hope for an early Spring!
