Assemblies

  • We kicked off the second semester strong with grade level assemblies. Our focus was to address the social and emotional needs of our students as well as give them inspiration as we start the new semester. We had the honor of having Lorrissa Horn and Peter Oliver give a speech on faith, family, and empowerment for our 9-11th graders. The seniors learned about discerning God's call, finishing the year strong, and a panel of BK graduates focused on college life.
