We are very blessed here at BMHS to be able to offer several scholarships to our students to purse post secondary education after graduation. Any current Senior that is interested in applying for one of our internal scholarships should fill out the application linked below by no later than April 30th.

In an effort to better support the needs of our students, we have created a form that teachers, parents, and students can fill out to proactively request help from the school for things like academic concerns, behavior concerns, social/emotional wellbeing, mental health wellbeing, or other possible issues happening outside of school. This form is part of our broader multi-tiered system of support for students and families. To submit a referral, please fill out the attached form below. If you have any questions about the form or if you should even fill it out, please contact our School Counselor Erin King at erin.king@bellevue.kyschools.us.

In order to promote a safe and healthy school environment, we encourage all of our students to report suspicious activity, safety concerns, or mental health concerns to a trusted adult. If they do not feel comfortable talking to an adult in the building, they can always report concerns to the Kentucky Safe Schools Tip Line at 1-866-393-6659. All reports to the Kentucky Safe Schools Tip Line are completely anonymous.
