We Need Your Help!

*The money raised from homecoming goes towards the cost of the dance, and back to our class to be used for future activities, prizes, and prom!

If families would like to help with fundraising, we are looking for donations of snacks, drinks, prizes and decor. This is completely optional, and is meant to help offset the amount spent with class funds. (All families grades 9-12 are being asked)

Many colleges & universities have representatives visiting Barnstable. Meeting with them shows a school you are interested, and helps you make informed decisions. Keep an eye on Ms. MacFarlane's posts in the class of 2027 Google Classroom to know when they are happening! (**This is not a tour of a school, they come to BHS )

All college visits will take place in the School Counseling Office, Room 2112.

Students need to sign up using MAIA unless specified otherwise. Mrs. MacFarlane will do an e-hall pass for all attendees. *There is a limit of 20 students per visit.
