On Monday, November 18th, 2024, BHS had the honor and privilege to celebrate our students with our quarterly Honors Ceremony. Whether for NWEA/SAT/PSAT testing achievements, high GPAs, consistent attendance, or recognizing leadership through our PBIS program, many of our middle and high school Buccaneers were able to come up to the stage and receive recognition of their accomplishments.
