Upcoming Events and Information for BISD
Bully Awareness
This page was created to be transparent to all stakeholders on the definition, flowchart and process we use to determine bullying in our schools. We encourage you to partner with us in helping educate your children on bullying and how being kind and compassionate to others is the best way to stop bullying.
You can report bullying using our Say Something/ See Something - BOJO Tipline.

College Fair
BHS hosted the TACRAO fair, for not only our students but students from area schools to visit with over 40 colleges and explore their options after high school.
The BHS CTE department provided the hospitality room for the visiting colleges. The culinary classes provided food and drinks, and the floral design classes provided the decorations. This was a team effort, and the outcome was excellent!
