Campus Improvements Underway

Dear Brecksville-Broadview Heights City Schools Community,

While the summer heat continues, plans are underway to make the start of the 2026-2027 school year as successful and smooth as possible. First day of classes for students in grades K-12 is Wednesday, August 19th, so please mark your calendars. New teachers will be welcomed to the district for orientation on Wednesday, August 12th and Thursday, August 13th. Families are encouraged to begin to check your child’s respective school webpages to see important supplies lists and back to school reminders. We look forward to seeing everyone soon.

As noted last month, the BBHCSD aggressively tackled a number of infrastructure improvements throughout our campus, and important updates are below. Hilton Drive saw the first signs of pavement being poured recently, and with sidewalks and curbs already installed, this project is certain to enhance traffic flow and safety. Pavement markings, traffic signage, and landscape will follow pavement completion. Currently, our open-for-use date is tentatively scheduled for August 10th. Keep on the lookout for an important ODOT-created traffic pattern video that will be released in our principal newsletters in the near future for both MS and HS students and families.

The main drive of BBHMS, along with student drop-off/pick-up areas is also being repaved. Our school family will see a new and resurfaced Stadium Drive as well as the S-curve up to the High School. Parking lots and markings will take place in early August.

Newly installed stadium turf will open for full use very soon, and our fall activity participants will have an outstanding new surface on which they can compete for the upcoming season.

Those passing by the Tennis Courts will note that asphalt has been poured and fencing around the perimeter has been installed as well. Specialized tennis court surfacing is up next, and practice is expected to tentatively begin in early August.

The roof above the girls locker rooms has been completely removed and replaced, while the LED lighting upgrades continue as well. Selective ceiling demolition has given way to the installation of a new ceiling grid and tile, which is now completed. New LED light fixtures are being installed and will continue until the project is complete. Please note that the project will continue into the school year, however, will not impact the day-to-day activities of the school. One fun fact shared by Facilities and Safety Coordinator Brian Koss is that a total of 1,788 fixtures will be transitioned to LED once the project is complete. Great job to all involved.

The final few weeks of summertime are upon us. Please enjoy them, the sunshine, and heat. See everyone on Wednesday, August 19th.

Thank you for your continued support.

GO BEES!

Superintendent Jeffrey D. Harrison
