The BHHS Project Lead the Way-Engineering classes were challenged today with a fun and innovative group activity.

Good Afternoon Minutemen and Minutemaid Families! BHHS has added new student arrival and departure procedures for this school year. Student drivers will use a newly constructed, one way road near the tennis courts to enter and to exit the high school campus. Students considered as car riders will use the front of BHHS as the designated area to drop off or pick up students. Please notice the images for further clarification. We look forward to seeing students tomorrow for the first day of school!
