BHS College & Career Readiness
Beginning of the Year Newsletter- 2018
What is College & Career Readiness at BHS?
We provide opportunities for students on campus (grades 9-12) to find their passion in life. We can help guide students through deciding college plans, researching military branches, or help find a skilled-labor career that they would enjoy.
Our goal is for every student to know that they can achieve their goals and between college, military, or career we are here to help map out their future!
Julie Knight is the College & Career Readiness Coordinator on campus and will be happy to assist you in anyway possible in planning for your future.
