Welcome to the BHS Express

Hello Bulldog Families.

We successfully wrapped up the first full week of school with all of our BHS students! Students and teachers are settling into their routines and our fall sports seasons are in full swing.

Tonight, Batavia High School will be celebrating 50 years of football at Batavia. This will be a special celebration as members of past football and cheer teams will be recognized prior to the first home football game of the 2024-2025 season. It’s exciting to celebrate this with our amazing community and to show off our beautiful facilities.

In preparation for the homecoming season at the end of September, please take note of the flier that’s included in this newsletter. We are pleased to partner with Blessed with a Dress and the Clermont County Educational Service Center in providing formal attire for our BHS students. We will begin accepting donations in the high school office beginning on September 3rd and will wrap up the donations on the National Day of Service, September 11th. Students will have the opportunity to shop on September 12th during their lunch period. Please consider supporting this cause and helping our students prepare for this fun event.

We hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend, and we look forward to seeing your students back on Monday.

In service to our Bulldogs.
