Cardinal Kickoff
Wednesday evening we welcomed prospective families onto campus. We began with a program in the auditorium that included an introduction to academics, course selection, and our transition program for students as they enter high school and a basic overview of what a day at BHS is like.  After that, families moved into the cafeteria where students had the chance to connect with counselors, teachers, clubs, organizations and sports.  Thank you to everyone that attended and contributed to the success of the evening.
