School News
From the Guidance Department:
On June 3, 2013, 8th grade students will be attending an orientation program at BHS. Students will be introduced to members of the high school staff and administration while becoming familiar with various aspects of high school life. The following topics will be addressed:
- Policies/Attendance
- Athletic Offerings/sign ups
- Extracurricular offerings/sign ups
- Peer leadership
- Service Learning/guidance
Students will have an opportunity to take a brief tour of the campus and ask questions of our peer leaders during that time. It is our hope that this program will assist students with the transition process and help them to begin their high school experience with confidence and enthusiasm.
