Baraboo High School is proud to offer many travel opportunities to students. This summer, students from BHS traveled to Europe for the BHS Switaly trip, touring Switzerland and Italy!
This was an amazing opportunity for our students, but since we couldn't all go on the Switaly trip BHS teacher Jake Boll put together a video, condensing 12 days into 20 minutes, so that the rest of us could vacation vicariously!
Additionally,
BHS senior Jayda Lochner compiled a video of her experience.
BHS works to provide many travel opportunities for our students. The History Department offers trips in even numbered summers, the Art Department travels in odd numbered summers, French students every odd year during spring break, and the music department offers yearly student travel opportunities. By doing this, it is the hope of teachers and staff that students of all different interests will have an opportunity to expand their view of the world and travel.
Students have worked on many fundraisers to prepare for the trip including brat stands, rummage sales, coffee sales, and more and wish to thank the Baraboo community for their continued support of these student opportunities. #Switaly2018 #Barabooproud
