WELCOME
Dear BHS Bruin Families and Students:
Greetings from BHS!
Hope you had a wonderful 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.
We are heading into week 4 already! Please talk to your students about how they are doing and contact your student’s teachers if you have any questions.
We have finished conducting several mandated safety drills. We are conducting Lockdown, Evacuation, and Hold In Place drills next week. We will continue to practice Fire Drills over the next few weeks.
Thanks!
