Message from the Principal

As we settle into fall, it's great to see our students and staff finding a familiar rhythm with our new bell schedule. Last Thursday, we reached a new milestone with more than 500 students participating in Tutorial for academic support or enrichment! It's encouraging to see so many students taking advantage of this opportunity.

Our Spartans continue to shine beyond the classroom! Following a strong showing at the World Championships in Houston last spring, our Spartronics robotics team finished two days of competition ranked 1st at last weekend's Bordie Blast competition at Sammamish High School. Congratulations to our students and mentors! 

Next Thursday, October 22, at 7:00 PM, our BHS Band will take the stage for its fall concert. We hope you'll join us!

We love seeing our students excel in the classroom and beyond. Thank you to our staff, families, and community for supporting their success!
 
Spartan Spirit Fundraiser - Help us support students & teachers with a donation to BHS PTSO.

BHS PTSO Spartan Spirit Fundraiser ~ Halfway to Our Goal!

We’re coming down to the wire in our annual class competition: Freshmen have taken the lead with $3,150, while the seniors are hot on their heels at $2,950. Sophomores are close behind with $2,400, and juniors are bringing in a generous $1,969. Thanks to everyone’s efforts, including our pop-up shop sales, we’ve raised an amazing $10,469 schoolwide! We have a fun prize in store for our winning class, so keep those donations coming. Which class will come out on top and earn the bragging rights this year?

Donate directly at Givebutter.org/SpartanSpirit and shop the new Spartan gear with proceeds supporting the fundraiser. A big shout out to the 118 families who have already supported PTSO.
