Making It To The Finish Line!

Dear Briggs Parents,

Can you believe there are only Thirteen days of class time left at Briggs HS? And for our Seniors, it's even shorter—just NINE days to go! As the 2024–2025 school year winds down, the momentum is strong, and everyone is pushing hard toward that final stretch of success.

This fall, many of our Seniors will begin exciting new journeys—whether it's college, joining the workforce, or serving in the military.

With summer just around the corner, many students will take on jobs that offer more than just a paycheck. These roles provide invaluable life experience and an early step toward independence. Whether they choose to save, spend a little on fun, or invest in school supplies for next year, they’re making smart, forward-thinking decisions.

To our parents and guardians—thank you. Your ongoing support, encouragement, and love have played a key role in your student’s success. Take a well-earned moment to celebrate yourselves, too! Of course, as the saying goes: "It ain't over 'til it's over!" 😄💓 So stay ready—these young people still need you cheering them on as they cross the finish line.

Let’s finish Bruins STRONG together!

To help you stay organized and informed, we’ve included a list of important upcoming dates and events below that will help wrap up the school year successfully. Please take a moment to review and mark your calendars!
