Class of 2026, you are halfway through your high school career! Enjoy your summer, and we'll see you back at BHS on Monday, August 26th from Noon-3 for registration. I know some of you are looking forward to getting your first BHS parking pass right along with your schedule. Junior year is sometimes the most difficult one academically, so come back ready to learn and motivated. Next year would be a great time to branch out. Join a new club or sport. Meet some new people and make some new friends. Start really thinking about what your path is going to be after graduation, and explore some of those options you think you might be interested in. You all have come a long way from the timid little freshmen you were just two short years ago, so make the last two years of high school your best ones!

Thanks,

Mr. Miner

Congrats....you finished your freshman year. How do you feel? I am very proud of all of you for showing up, working hard, and making the most of your freshman year. If you didn't get as involved at BHS as you wanted this year, make sure to look for opportunities to get involved next year. A few things to leave you with for summer:

- Relax.

- Reset.

- Get outside.

- Laugh.

- Make memories.

- Enjoy the down time!

I will be in the office June 18th - June 20th should you have any questions about summer school classes and/or course requests for next year!

Enjoy your summer :).
