Graduation Rescheduled to June 6
Class of 2020 Seniors, your graduation ceremony scheduled for May 15th has been officially re-scheduled for Saturday June 6th.  Our Dallas County R-1 Board of Education voted last night to change the date to give us more time to hopefully allow for a traditional graduation ceremony if at all possible.  If the social distancing orders have not been lifted and do not look likely closer to June 6th then we have a Drive-Through Senior car parade graduation back-up plan (more information will be sent out later).  Your senior sponsors are working closely with Dr. White to make your graduation a great ceremony to honor you as a class. The senior scholarships and awards ceremony will be a virtual Facebook Premiere that you and your family can watch from home on Thursday, May 14th at 7:00 pm (more information and a link will be sent out later).

All of the lockers have already been cleaned out for you and all of your belongings have been bagged up and labeled with your name, locker number, and grade.  You can start picking up your locker bags tomorrow in the front entrance mezzanine during the posted hours above.  If you had medicine that has been left with the nurse you can also pick that up starting tomorrow but please call the BHS office ahead of time and make arrangements so someone can be available to meet you.
