Eagles' First Flight
Eagles' First Flight 2022 will take place on Tuesday, August 16th! All BWHS Freshmen and new students are invited to attend! We ask that any new student who is not a freshman, please RSVP to our main office by Thursday, August 11th. The event will begin at 7:30 am and will be finished by 11 am. Buses will be provided and will pick students up in the morning at the same time they would be picked up during the school year. If students are dropped off at school but will ride the bus home, please be sure that they know their bus number. Bus numbers and bus routes will be posted on the parent portal in PowerSchool on August 11th. Unfortunately, this information can not be viewed from a cell phone. Students will be assigned a mentor who will show them important areas of the school, walk them through a typical day, and share other information that will help with their transition to BWHS. Students will also receive a t-shirt. We are excited to welcome our new students! We hope to see everyone there.
