BHS Community Newsletter ~ November 12, 2026

As we wrap up Term 1 and reach the quarter point of our school year, it's a great opportunity to reflect on our progress and celebrate the many accomplishments of our students. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I'm especially grateful for the dedication of our staff, the support of our families, and the many ways our students contribute to making BHS such a special place. We're off to a great start this fall, and I'm excited to see what lies ahead as we continue to create a home away from home where every Spartan belongs, engages, and thrives.

There's certainly plenty to celebrate. From our fall sports successes (Congratulations to Ryan Dodge who was crowned state champion at the cross country state meet on Saturday, and a special shout-out to our girls swim team as they pursue their third consecutive state championship!) to last weekend’s opening of our fall play, our students are shining. We hope you'll take the opportunity to come out and support our Spartans as they continue to excel. BET on Blue & Gold!

Quarter grades are posted in Skyward for families to access. As a reminder, quarter grades are a mid semester progress report. If you have concerns about these grades, please encourage your student to communicate with their teacher(s). 

To find quarter grades, go to Skyward Family Access→ Report Cards and School Info. 

BHS Counseling hosted two successful Instant Decision Days over the past month. More than 30 seniors earned admission to Western Washington University on October 28, and over 30 more were admitted to Washington State University on November 10.   Congratulations to all our newly admitted seniors!

Students, please be sure to check the Lost & Found for any items you may have lost. During Thanksgiving Break, unclaimed items such as sweatshirts, shoes and water bottles will be donated. More valuable items such as jewelry and AirPods will continue to be held in the BHS Main Office.
