Hello and welcome, BHS Families! 

We have a fun and active Parents Association at BHS and would love you to join us. Our purpose is to engage our community, to support our students’ learning environment and to facilitate fundraising efforts to offset the mounting costs that our admin and teachers face every year, so our students can be their best selves. We are a team of working parents and guardians, so we strive for flexibility to ensure everyone who wants to get involved will be able to, no matter what kind of schedule you have. Stay up to speed by joining our PTA Updates whatsapp group chat HERE

GIVE TO SUPPORT
