Hello, We wanted to let you know that we have made the decision that no matter what Governor Lujan Grisham decides, students will not be returning to BHS this fall. We will stay on the remote learning system for the remainder of the semester. This decision was made due to the uncertainty of if and when we might be returning to campus this semester. It is important to us that parents, students and staff be able to plan for the remainder of the fall semester. Hopefully, we will be able to return to campus in January.
