Dear BHS Bruin Families and Students:
Greetings from BHS!
To end our week, Homecoming 2024 is upon us. Saturday will bring our annual Homecoming Parade at 12:45 PM, football game at 2:00 PM and Dance at 7:00 PM at TCMS. This is a wonderful time for kids to take pride in their school, be teenagers, enjoy moments of positive school spirit in our community.
This past week, we have started to conduct our annual emergency response drills, including fire drills, hold-in-place drills, shelter-in-place drills, lockdowns, and in the next couple of weeks, our annual evacuation drill. We have continued to educate staff and students on proper protocols, evaluating our efforts after each drill so that we can continue to learn and get better. Please feel free to contact me with any questions!
We are looking forward to the BHS HOMECOMING next week. Check out the exciting activities listed in this newsletter!
This year's first live Zoom PTSA Meet the Principal will be Wednesday, September 18th at noon and 7 p.m. Join Dr. Hall and find out what we are doing at the High School in 24 -25. There will be plenty of time for Question & Answer. Join at ZOOM - https://zoom.us/j/99326855403
