Get involved in 2021!
Hello BHS Community,
It's not too late to sign up for clubs and sports! Many of our groups are currently meeting in various ways. Students are encouraged to get connected with their friends, coaches, and advisors. For sports, once a student signs up online via Final Forms (link below), they can get updates and notifications from their coach. Many of our teams hosted outdoor workouts this fall and plan to do the same when we return in January.
Final Forms: https://bellingham-wa.finalforms.com/students
Many of our clubs are still active and meeting online. Now would be a great time to check them out. Use the link below to contact the advisor for meeting details.

Una vez que un estudiante se registra en línea a través delos formularios finales (enlace a continuación), puede recibir actualizaciones y notificaciones de su entrenador. Muchos de nuestros equipos organizaron entrenamientos al aire libre este otoño y se planea hacer lo mismo cuando regresemos en enero.

Washington College Grant
More Students Are Now Eligible for the Washington College Grant
The new Washington College Grant (WCG) gives more money to more students for more kinds of education after high school. Whatever you want to do next—from welding to nursing, from English to computer science—WCG can help you pay for college and training.
Washington College Grant can help you access many types of education and training:
- Public and private colleges and universities
- Workforce and training programs
- Approved apprenticeship programs
WCG is not reserved for valedictorians or athletes. If you meet the eligibility requirements, you have money waiting for you. An eligible student from a family of four making up to around $97,000 per year can receive some money for their education.
Amounts vary based on income, family size, and the school or program attended. Students and families can use the financial aid calculator to estimate their potential WCG award, but the only way to know for sure whether you qualify is to apply for financial aid. Applications for the 2021-22 academic year are now open.
Washington College Grant makes education and training beyond high school affordable. Learn more at wsac.wa.gov/WCG.
