The yearbook is just about done! As communicated earlier, only a limited number of extra copies were ordered. We expect to be sold out by yearbook distribution in May. BUY NOW while supplies last at Jostens.com. If you have already bought a book, thank you!

Semester 2 finals will take place May 19, 2025 - May 23, 2025. We want to make sure everyone is aware of the expectations for attendance during this time. To review the schedule, please refer to the following link: S2 Finals Schedule

It is expected that all students remain in class until the period is over. The office staff/administration will NOT interrupt a class to have a student released for any reason during this time. If you need to have your student released, please make arrangements for them to leave at passing period, not during class time. If a student finishes their exam early, we will not be able to release them. We want to respect all students during their exam time and allow them to have uninterrupted time to complete their exam. We strive for all students to continue to work hard in their classes and finish the semester strong.

ALL students that drive to BHS are required to display a parking permit in their vehicle to park on campus. Please register your vehicle at the following link: http://bit.ly/bhspermit or use the QR code posted by the main office for your FREE parking permit (1st=free, if replacement is needed=$2.00/ea.) Once you have completed the form and it has been processed, you will be called to the office to pick up your permit. The permits are good until the student graduates and will be turned in at that time.

Why is this necessary? For the students and staff safety we need information on every vehicle here at the school. Any vehicle without a permit or who is parked in violation of other school rules or laws may receive a Parking Violation from BHS. First offense is a $20.00 fine and fines go up for second and third violations. Payment must be made to the school’s Bookkeeping Office within 14 days after receiving the violation. Continual violations or a serious violation may result in loss of parking privileges at BHS. If you have any questions, please speak with SRO Deputy, Vince Mosley or Campus Security
