Bobcat News

We're thrilled to welcome you all back to Bobcat Nation as we begin another exceptional year of quality education and meaningful experiences for our Bobcat families. Our staff has been working hard all summer to ensure we not only meet the needs of our students, but challenge them to new levels of academic and personal success. We look forward to celebrating their achievements and are grateful to have the fierce support of this vibrant community to see them through.

Parents and Guardians:

• Please remember to complete online registration, provide proof of residency, and pay all necessary technology fees and fines. If your student has not been issued a device, it is likely that one of these items is missing.
• Dress code requirements and other important information can be found in the Student Handbook.
• For all attendance needs email BLHS-Attendance@beaufort.k12.sc.us

Incredible turnout for Open House 2025-26!

We are extremely passionate about BLHS, the teachers, students and staff, and we appreciate the time, support and donations of all of our Bobcat families and community.

We work closely with the school’s Sunshine Committee providing monthly birthday breakfasts and occasional staff bonding events. We also work closely with the Guidance Department helping with their yearly staff oyster roast and silent auction. This event provides a $1000 scholarship to deserving seniors. It is called the ROAR scholarship and last year we were able to give out 10.

So how can you help? Join our PTO by paying the $25 membership fee and join our Bluffton High PTO Facebook page where we post all our needs. Money can be sent to our new Bluffton High PTO Venmo account @Bobcatspto https://www.venmo.com/u/Bobcatspto

Drop off cash or check to the front office addressed to Bluffton High PTO.

We look forward to working with you and ask that you email blhspto@gmail.com for more information.

FYI, you are not required to attend meetings, fundraisers, or school events.... Just join by paying the membership fee and we do all the rest!!

Thank you in advance for your support,

Ellen Andreoletti, Jen Parrott, and Melissa Star

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.

But it also prompts a spike in anxiety: Even students who are usually pretty easy-going get butterflies, and prone to anxiety get more nervous than usual.
