This past week was BHS Homecoming week. Our students enjoyed participating in the parade. It was a wonderful evening of community fun!





Here's the second behind the scenes video tour of the construction project, which focuses on the high school rear entrance, theater control room, guidance office, and art space: https://youtu.be/X9NeGvDfzmY

Over the next few weeks we will be releasing video walkthrough segments of the new buildings in order to give everyone a sneak peak at the project from inside the construction fence. Up first is a walkthrough of the BHS cafe/kitchen/stage areas. https://youtu.be/o2VKANXrAL4

There has been lots of progress on the buildings over the past several weeks, with the second floor starting to take shape at the high school and the first floor coming along nicely at the middle school. A fresh batch of pictures are on the construction page using the link below:
