Despite the interruption for weather, we had a great week at Bluffton High. Spring is always extra busy, so don't delay preparation efforts until the last minute. Students must have all obligations cleared and not owe seat time before they can attend prom. Families are notified every Wednesday by email of any lost library items or printing fees that may be owed. See Ms. Roldan in room 1106 for PowerSchool fees (temporary IDs, club fees, etc.).

There are some incredible summer camp opportunities provided by University of South Carolina that allow students to explore their interests and passions. The link below is also posted in the grade level google classrooms.

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.
