ADMINISTRATION

2. Interested in going to Law School? Are you an activist who believes in
Restorative Justice? Do you think students should have a voice in discipline
issues at Berkeley High? Then check out the Student Court! Join the fight
against the school-to-prison pipeline which feeds the American
prison-industrial complex. Many are not aware the USA has more people behind
bars than any other country in the entire world. Our democratic values of
Justice and Liberty have been hijacked by corporate interests; and it is up
to youth activists to bring about the necessary change. For more info about
the Student Court come by H104! Enrollment for the Student Court Leadership
Class is currently open for the Spring semester. Participants will receive 5
units of elective credit. Under-represented minority youth are especially
encouraged to join the cause.

 

 

3. During the month of March, BHS counselors will be extremely busy
gathering course requests in BHS English classes and at the middle schools.

the need is extremely urgent, contact your child's vice-principal.  We
appreciate your patience during this busy time.

SUMMER

 

 

The first, the best!!  The music and story that rocked the world is as
relevant today as ever.  This is the gospel according to Judas Iscariot, who
betrayed Jesus.  Judas tells his side of the story in this contemporary,
irreverent production, filled with epic rock music, poignant ballads, and
wild spectacle.  What if Jesus showed up on Telegraph Avenue today? 

 

Big ensemble dance numbers!  Exciting showcase for strong singer-actors!

 

Acting in Musical Theater Summer Intensives

 

Session I: July 18 - 22, 9 am to 3 pm

 

Session II: July 25 - 29, 9 am to 3 pm

 

Tuition: $375; tuition assistance available

 

Students will develop their skills as singer/actors by focusing on selected
scenes from musicals that are appropriate to their age and level. In working
with these scenes and through exercises, improvisation and games, we will
help students build their vocal technique, and develop characters and
on-stage relationships.
