Course Scheduling for the 2018-2019 School Year

Starting February 20, Academic Counselors began meeting with all current 9th-11th grade students, typically during their English classes, in order to submit course requests for the 2018-19 school year; these meetings will continue through March 20.

In addition to making course selections, you will also have the opportunity to enter the lottery if you wish to move out of your current Small Learning Community for the 2018-19 school year. You can only enter the lottery at the time you meet with your counselor for course scheduling.

All BHS students can pick up a 2018-19 Course Catalog from the Counseling Office in order to review our course offerings for next year.
