Congratulations BMHS Music Students!
Congratulations to our BMHS Orchestra and Choir Students!!!
On Saturday February 24th, 2024, several of the BMHS orchestra and choir students participated in the WSMA District Solo & Ensemble Festival. Through this experience, students are challenged to advance their musical skills, perform in front of an adjudicator and audience, and receive feedback on their performance. Students that perform at the highest level (Class A) at WSMA District Festival, have the opportunity to earn a 1* (one-star) rating which advances them to State Solo & Ensemble Festival.
Each of our students earned the highest rating in their class! The following ratings were awarded:
Class - Category - Student Name(s) - Rating
B Cello Solo Arthur Duffy 1
A Violin Solo Alex Funk 1*

ACT Testing for All Juniors - March 12, 2024
The ACT is a paper-pencil, multiple‐choice assessment in four areas: English, Math, Reading, and Science, with an additional 40‐minute writing essay.
To create the most optimal testing environment for students, March 12th will be a “Juniors Only” day. High school students in grades 9, 10, and 12 will not attend classes on March 12th, 2024. (all day).
The ACT administered on March 12th is identical to the one offered at various locations on Saturday mornings. Students will have the opportunity to have their scores sent to potential colleges they might be interested in applying to. This opportunity typically has a cost associated with it but will be free to all of our 11th-grade students.
The purpose of sending this communication is to ensure that all students are in attendance during the testing date, March 12th, by 7:30 am.
PreACT Secure Testing
PreACT Secure for All Freshmen and Sophomores - March 21st, 2024
BMHS will be administering the PreACT Secure to all 9th and 10th grade BMHS students on Thursday, March 21st, 2024. Ensuring that our students do their best to show what they know is important so we can best meet the needs of our students and guide decision-making for Beloit Memorial High School academics.
The PreACT Secure is a multiple-choice assessment that students take on their chromebooks. It helps 9th and 10th grade students better prepare for the ACT test that is given to Junior students each spring, and it is used to show students' progress towards meeting the College and Career Readiness Standards. The four sections included in the PreACT are English, Math, Reading, and Science.
Please make sure that all 9th and 10th grade students are at school by 7:45 am on Thursday, March 21st. Also, please reinforce the importance of your student doing their own best and help them come to school rested and ready to show what they know.
