A reminder to parents and students regarding college visits:

A note from a parent must be submitted to the Principal prior to the college visit. Upon return to school, documentation of the visit, on college letterhead must be submitted to the Principal. Students are permitted a combined maximum of three days during the student's junior/senior years.

Attention students and parents: Tutoring services are being offered by the National Honor Society. Student tutoring is great way for NHS members to share their knowledge with other students and to perform a valuable service for the school. We want to publicize this program as much as we can so that any student who needs help knows that there are tutoring options in school that they can and should utilize. Click here for more information about the tutoring service.


Parents are encouraged to create accounts on this website (aka SchoolFusion Accounts).  Setting up a SchoolFusion account will provide parents with access to teachers' webpages and allow them to subscribe to automated emails that are sent when those pages are updated.  A student ID number is required to link a parent's/guardian's SchoolFusion account to his/her student; you may contact Ms. Nickell at rnickell@shsd.org for this number.  Please click here to create your SchoolFusion parent account. 


In honor of the tenth anniversary of 9/11, the history department at BHS has adopted a US soldier who is currently stationed in Afghanistan. We will be sending him letters, care packages, etc. For more information click here.
