The Blue & Gold

Congratulations to Coach Patrick Harding - ASWA 6A Coach of the Year!!!! Buckhorn won its first state championship in 28 years – in Harding’s second season after coaching 24 years at Albertville. It also marks Coach Harding's first State title in his 33-year coaching career. In addition, Coach Harding will be inducted into the Marshall County Sports Hall of Fame in a June 3 banquet at Lake Guntersville State Park Lodge this year. He will join his late father, Roger, and his father-in-law, Richard Hayes, as MCSHOF inductees (https://www.sandmountainreporter.com). Congrats, again, Coach Harding!!! #BuckPride

Congratulations to Caleb Holt for being named a 6A Player of the Year finalist by the Alabama Sports Writers Association. Caleb was also named to the 6A First-team All-State basketball team! Caleb and all the finalists of each class will be honored at the annual Player of the Year Banquet on April 6 in Montgomery when the winners will be announced! Good luck, Caleb! #BuckPride

Congratulations to Audrey Glass, Haley Morgan, Emma Jones, Kendall Snodgrass, Romi Landreth, Katelyn McAllister, and Zach Sanders for auditioning and earning a spot in the 2023 Alabama All-State SATB Chorus. Being a member of an All-State choir is the highest honor a choral student can receive. These students had a great time working with Francisco Nunez of the Young People’s Chorus of New York. So proud of these amazing representatives of Buckhorn High School.

What an amazingly perfect artsy day! BHS Art Club had such a fun time with Ms. Stanford’s BMS Art students. We started the morning with creating art in the park, took a tour at the Huntsville Museum of Art, got luch at the Dragon's Forge Cafe, and lastly, explored Lowe Mill Arts! The students enjoyed it so much. A huge thank you to Mrs. Serina Stanford and all our amazing chaperones. via Instagram, @bhs_visual_art

on the field, in the classroom and in our community.

From August to April, a panel of judges selects one Athlete of the Week. Applicants must be a high school senior, have a minimum GPA of 3.5 and display a history of athletic and academic accomplishments, as well as community/civic involvement.

At the end of the school year, all weekly winners are invited to a banquet held in their honor.

By dialing or texting 256.536.8355, someone could possibly save the life of another. You may also email your concerns to 256TELL@madisoncountyal.gov.

This reporting hotline is monitored 24/7 by the Madison County Sheriff’s Department. All reports are forwarded to the School Resource Officer(s) who is assigned to the respective school. The school administration may be contacted as well.

Sign Up to Round Up!

The Round Up Program was started by The Schools Foundation and Huntsville Utilities to support local public school systems. The Schools Foundation is a funding partner of Madison County Schools. The more residential and commercial locations that round up, the more funding we can receive. Estimates show that if just half of the residential Huntsville Utilities users rounded up, it would generate approximately $500,000 to support our schools! By rounding up your utility bill to the nearest dollar each month, you help invest in the future of our students!

You can easily sign up to round up online:

https://www.hsvutil.org/community_resources/programs/sign_up_to_round_up.php

It might be a penny, it might be 25 cents, it might be 99 cents, but it will be no more than $11.88 a year. It takes less than 1 minute to fill out.

Thank you for supporting one of our community partners! Go Bucks!
