Parents, Teachers, and Students
This month is cause for tremendous celebration. We have an immersive Black History Program in store as we showcase the importance and strength of our diverse community history and include many opportunities to learn about each other.
Bobcats will be celebrating our School Counselors the week of February 3-7 for all of the impressive things they do on behalf of our students and staff.
We also look forward to hosting our rising Freshmen from Bluffton Middle School and McCracken Middle School this Wednesday, February 5.

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.
Celebrate With Us!
Bobcat Student of the Week - Kyra Pasqualone
Kyra is a Junior and is one of a kind in many ways. She is inspirational to her peers in both the classroom and clubs (Teens for Healthy Youth) and is consistently positive. I don't think she's said a negative word about anybody - ever. She is passionate about things that matter and a tremendous role model both academically and personally.
