We hope you were able to catch a few glimpses of our Black History Month program on social media - if not there are additional highlights below. It was an incredible spectacle of information, culture, and entertainment. A big thank you to our BHM committee, and all of our special guests for making it an assembly to remember.

February went by in a flash and now it's time to jump into all things Spring. 🌱 Spring sports have officially begun, so make sure you're following along with Bobcat Athletics on Facebook and the individual teams' social media pages to keep up with the many matches, meets, contests, and results.

Reminder: the SAT test will be given on March 5th on a regular bell schedule.

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.

Frankie is a freshman this year and an all-around amazing person. He goes above and beyond to make sure he and his classmates are successful including a recent incident where a fellow student experienced a family tragedy. Frankie went out of his way to ensure the student was doing ok and helping them get caught up on their work.
