• Parent Teacher Conferences will be held on Feb., 27th from 4:30-7:00 Pm

• Good evening! BHS will host a Dual Enrollment Information session on Thursday, February 27 at 5:30 pm. We will have the USC Lancaster Dual Enrollment Coordinator at this event to share information and answer questions. If your student is interested in taking Dual Enrollment classes though USCL, we hope you will join us.

• NHS There will be a formal induction ceremony for newly selected National Honor Society members at the Buford High School multi-purpose building on Thursday, February 27th at 7pm. If you applied for membership, check Google Classroom to see if you were accepted.
  There is a $20 membership fee that pays for our chapter's national dues. You only have to pay this fee one time. If this fee is an issue, please talk to Mr. Belk to see if alternate arrangements can be made.

  You may also purchase an NHS T-shirt for $18.50 to wear to group events. Just like dues, this is a one-time expense. We will keep the same design every year, so you will never have to purchase another one.

  You may bring money to Mrs. Sellers in the front office or pay the night of the ceremony. Please make checks payable to Buford High School and include your driver's license and phone number.

• The Fall 2025 Application for USCL Dual Enrollment is now open. All students who plan to take Dual Enrollment classes must submit this application, even if they completed an application for the 2024-2025 school year. The application deadline is May 15. Students who apply after that date may have to wait until the Spring 2026 semester to take classes. Students can visit the USCL Dual Enrollment tab of the BHS Guidance website or see the message in their grade level Google classroom for the application link.

  
  

Parents! We need your help!

We are reaching out to encourage you to support your student in participating in an important survey from The Furman University Riley Institute. The survey is designed to gather valuable insights from high school students, and we believe it could provide them with an opportunity to share their perspectives on key issues.

The deadline for completion is Monday, February 24th, and we appreciate your support in ensuring that your student participates.

Thank you for your continued partnership!
