Greetings!

The faculty at BHS trusts that you have had a great summer. It’s hard to believe that the start of school is almost upon us. The staff at BHS encourages students to be involved in numerous activities and make a commitment to academic achievement. The list of accomplishments by the students of BHS this past year was amazing and this was made possible through parents’ guidance and students’ efforts. Also, we were able to reach our goal of 96% attendance for 2011-2012 school year. Increases in attendance have occurred the past five consecutive years. Our emphasis will be to ensure that we have a relentless focus on learning and this focus is embedded into everything we do.

In 2012-2013 my message to faculty and students of BHS is to dream, believe, achieve and succeed! If you have any questions about the upcoming school year don’t hesitate to stop by or call 833-4337.
