Bandon High School is proud to congratulate the Valedictorians and Salutatorian of the 2023 graduating class.

Each of these students is recognized and congratulated for their high cumulative academic achievements during their four years at Bandon High School. Their academic excellence has resulted in them being ranked the top scholars of their class.

The Class of 2023 Valedictorians are the students with the highest grade point average among all students in their graduating class. Five students in the Class of 2023 achieved the highest grade point average possible, which is a 4.0, or straight A's. Congratulations Daniel Cabrera, Ellrya Knight, Danielle McLain, Hallie Minkler, and Abigail Weston!

The Salutatorian is the student graduating with the second highest grade point average in their class. This year the grade point average was broken down to the highest thousandth. It is our pleasure to congratulate Owen Brown as the Class of 2023 Salutatorian!

Mr. Hatfield and his Environmental Science class braved the elements on Tuesday to work on a restoration project out 42 south. Students spent time planting different species of plants along the riverside.

In February we started tracking attendance across grade levels. The winning grade level will receive a reward at the end of each month. The grade level that has the best attendance between now and the end of the school year, will get an additional treat! We appreciate your commitment to being at school.

Bandon High School will be holding a state send-off today, Friday the 24th, at noon in front of the high school for both the boys' and girls' basketball teams! The teams will load the buses and follow a fire truck out of town. If you would like to help support our Tigers and their coaches, you can line up along 9th street and cheer them on, or along the highway from 9th street to Ray's Food Place as well.

The Lady Tigers will tip off against the Regis Rams tonight, at 6:00 PM. The students voted on a "Neon" themed evening, show up in neon and be ready to cheer our Lady Tigers on!

The boys are on the road to Portland today to face off against Mannahouse Academy tomorrow, Saturday, February 25th, at 4:00 PM. Good luck boys and safe travels we are cheering for you!

All of our students should have recently signed a behavior agreement form that acknowledges that they have reviewed the student handbook, and know what the behavior expectations are at HLMS. We would appreciate it if you could take a moment to review the student hand book (link below) as well.

The Character Focus for the month of February is Honesty.
