To ensure a safe and secure environment at BCSD athletic events, all spectators and athletes entering our venues will be asked to remove hoods or face coverings that obscure one’s identity, such as balaclava-style masks. This practice, which is common at collegiate athletic events, will help us maintain safety by ensuring individuals can be easily identified if needed.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in creating a safe and welcoming atmosphere for everyone. Please reach out to District Athletic Director Dr. Carlos Cave for any questions.

Anthony Mejia-Esquivel auditioned and placed into region orchestra. He will be performing at the region orchestra event in Mount Pleasant on November 14th-15th.

Oral nicotine pouches are new and rapidly expanding category of nicotine products which are increasing rapidly among youth. These patches are filled nicotine power with various flavors and discreetly placed between the top lip and gum in which the nicotine is absorbed into the bloodstream through mucous membranes.

Although nicotine pouches do not contain tobacco, they do contain nicotine which is a highly addictive stimulant substance.
Nicotine has negative effect on all age groups but is particularly dangerous for young people because it can cause physical changes in their still-developing brains
