Mr. Gerald Davenport will be the Honorary Marshal of tonight’s Senior Parade immediately following Officer Kendrick. Mr. Davenport is retiring this year after 6 years of teaching at BHS. He has built the AP Physics classes from under 10 to over 100 students in these 6 years. He was an attorney in Texas for 30 years prior to teaching. Honored as the 2018-2019 BHS Teacher of the Year, he’s an amazing educator who builds strong relationships with students and guides them to success. He has changed the lives of countless students by building their confidence and inspiring them to greatness.

All this time we thought Chemistry and Physics were high school courses... ...not if Mrs. Sumler is your first grade teacher! Her students at Central Elementary, did an experiment to observe how ice melts differently in salt water versus fresh water. Piper learned that ice melts very quickly in salt water! Great job, Piper!
Mrs. Kidd has challenged her 5th grade students to find an interesting place to read their book and then share a short summary! Where is your favorite place to curl up with a good book?
Spartans, as you well know, these unprecedented times have forced many of our regular procedures to be amended to ensure the health and safety of our school community.
