Today is graduation day! Over the past week, we have been shining a spotlight on each of our valedictorians and today we celebrate our salutatorian of the BSHS Class of 2026!

Congratulations to Braelyn Morris - Salutatorian:

During high school, she has been highly involved in a wide range of activities, including volleyball, wrestling, unified bowling, unified soccer, soccer, powerlifting, Orange Crush Chieftain, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, National Honor Society, Student Council, Youth Lead KC, and serving as a Diversity Ambassador.

BSE 2nd graders worked with BSHS students in Mr. Mellick's classes to build bird feeders! This was a fun way to wrap up the second grade unit on animals and get a preview of the wood shop in the BTEC building!

Great job to Mr. Mellick and his students for preparing kits to build each bird feeder and partnering with 2nd graders! The bird feeders will be distributed to various community partners this spring, so be on the look out!
