Learning is fun at BCSC!

The progress of the BCSC Restricting Committee* of 110 parent volunteers and administrators was presented at a community meeting November 28th. This group continues its work toward a recommendation while working with neighborhood data in an anonymous format to balance enrollment between eight elementary schools when Crossroads Elementary opens in July 2023. If you weren't able to attend the community meeting, you can still see previous presentations from committee meetings on the Parent Resources page:

*The Redistricting Committee is made up of parents and guardians who responded to a call for volunteers in the Spring of 2022 and committed to attend all of the work sessions this fall.

An upcoming project to relocate the county ditch that crosses the BHS property between Odell Street and Grant Street is scheduled to occur between now and June 2023. The relocation of the ditch is needed to free space for future site development, including the expansion of parking at BHS.

The Sound of Brownsburg received 8th place at Bands of America (BOA) Grand National Championships in their first ever trip to the national finals. They were one of 12 bands to qualify for finals (out of 100 bands.)

Other 2022 accomplishments:

• 2022 Bands of America Louisville Regional - 2nd place out of 30 bands
• 2022 Bands of America Indianapolis - Super Regional Finalist - 6th place out of 84 bands, tying highest finish ever at a BOA Super Regional
• 2022 ISSMA Open Class A State Finalist – 4th place, highest placement ever

The outstanding community members, parents, grandparents, and friends of Brownsburg Schools above just completed their time in the Vision BCSC program. This group started their class in January 2020 and when the class was paused in March of that year, they remained engaged and returned to finish the class in 2022. We appreciate their participation in this program that gives the community a behind-the-scenes look into our exceptional schools.

The next Vision BCSC class will begin in January 2023. There are still a few slots available. If you are interested, please complete the Interest Inventory here:
