Welcome to the BHS Express

Hello Bulldog Families.

This final week in April saw BHS students wrapping up the End of Course Assessments, donating blood in the NHS Blood Drive, and attending BPA National Competition! We have some busy kids!

With the final three weeks of school approaching, we have students taking AP tests, attending various award ceremonies, participating in the district art show as well as band and choir concerts, competing in athletic events, all while trying to finish the year strong. Please help support your teen through the next few weeks. Many of them will feel a little stressed.

As spring fever continues to push its way into BHS, please help remind your student about appropriate school clothing. We try not to make the dress code a “big issue”, so help us by monitoring your students before they come to school. We greatly appreciate your support with this one!

We hope you have a wonderful weekend!

In service to our Bulldogs.
