High School Highlights
Weekly Updates from Big Walnut High School
Week of September 19
It's hard to believe that we are halfway through September! We enjoyed getting to meet with our parents during Parent Teacher Conferences last week. Please remember there is no school on Monday, September 19 due to Teacher Professional Development. And, this year's Homecoming week is right around the corner. See below for ways you can participate in the festivities.
As always, please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's teachers, school counselor or the administration if you have any questions or concerns. Feel free to contact the main office at 740-965-3766 between the hours of 7:00 and 3:15.

BWHS Academic Boosters
Academic Boosters - who are we? We are a group of organized parents who provide support to help improve the academic experience for all students, parents, and staff at BWHS. We provide An Evening of Excellence in September to recognize sophomores, juniors, and seniors who earned a 3.5 GPA the previous year. We sponsor the annual Academic and Military Signing in the spring for graduating seniors who have been offered college scholarships and graduating seniors who have enlisted in Military Services. Students who earn a 5 on their AP exam receive a High Five yard sign provided by and delivered to their home by members of the Academic Boosters. Our staff at BWHS is crucial to the success of our students and the academic booster parents show them just how much we appreciate them by providing a few very small tokens of appreciation during staff appreciation week in April. We have many other ideas of ways we can expand and continue to support the academic efforts of our students and staff! We are looking forward to a productive and fun year!
Meetings are typically at 6:30pm on the second Monday of each month. (No December meeting.) This year, our meetings are as follows: 10/10, 11/14, 1/9, 2/6, 3/13, 4/3, and 5/8.
Join us for the Big Nut Strut!
The 13th annual BIG NUT STRUT is just around the corner! This is a fun community event held on October 9, 2022. It is an excellent way to show your support for the High School Academic Boosters! Sign up (Runsignup.com) by September 19th to be guaranteed a race shirt. Be sure to choose the High School as your school! Questions can be directed to bignutstrut2022@gmail.com.
Updates from the School Counseling Office
DACC Presentation for Sophomores:
On Friday, September 23, all sophomore students will hear a presentation about the Delaware Area Career Center during their American History class. DACC offers a lot of really great options for our students and this presentation will highlight the many opportunites they have. It's an excellent chance for our students to start thinking about their future and to see if DACC might be the right fit for them.
Senior One-On-One Meetings Should Be Complete!
Seniors, if you have not already had your one-on-one meeting with your school counselor, please schedule with them ASAP! This is a very important appointment to confirm everything is in place for your graduation eligibility and to help you begin to make plans for your future after high school. See Schoology for more information!
