BHS doesn’t stray away from theatre. And anyone can see that. Year after year, BHS performs outstanding and phenomenal productions. From lighthearted and appealing to dramatic and gloomy, BHS has done it all and can do it all.

In a school like BHS there are few days each year that allow any and all students to have a night to jump, dance, and have fun with all their friends and fellow students. BHS only has two of these events throughout each school year. Homecoming, which takes place in late September or early October, and Prom in early May. Unlike BHS, most schools have three, four, or even five yearly dances. These come in…

After a year without a typical Homecoming and almost two years without a normal school scene, Homecoming Week proved to be a very relaxing break from the “new normal” that started right before Spring Break in April of 2020. A yearly tradition to dress up for themes over a week, go to a home football game and a following “Fun Night” on Friday, and take part in the second most formal dance of the year,…
