Buy a Book Help our Name That Book Competition!
Name That Book is an annual HISD competition that encourages students to read from a selected reading list of high quality young adult novels/non-fiction. Then, in spring each year, students from participating high schools compete to see which school's reading team can remember key passages from the listed books. Bellaire has participated in the competition for almost twenty years. If you are purchasing any books for yourselves or for friends/family, consider doing so during this promotional period in May. Thanks.

Counselor Awareness Month
Are you AWARE of who your counselor is and what we can do for you? Your personal needs run the gamut of us helping you create your individual schedule to your grades to issues with friends and family. The counselors at Bellaire are available and equipped to help you deal with each and every one of these situations (and more!). While we wear many hats, our primary responsibility and concern is your mental health.

Your counselors are trained to lead you through many of those emotions and help you navigate the minefields of adolescence. Please come by room 119 and say hello and get to know us. We are waiting to get to know you better!

Exchange With An Italian High School - 2019-2020 - May 3
Since 2012 Bellaire High School promotes an exchange with Italy. Our students of Italian have the opportunity to visit the Bernardino Telesio High School for Classical Studies in Cosenza, in the beautiful region of Calabria (in the deep south). BHS students visit Calabria during Thanksgiving, so as not to miss too much school, and the Italian students they host come to Houston in the spring. There will be a meeting on May 3 at 5:30 for families and students interested in taking part in the exchange, especially since for our next exchange we will be able to offer merit and need based scholarships to cover the flight. The overall cost of the trip is about $1,500.00, as it is an exchange and families host students both in Italy and in Houston. If you want to receive further information email mborsa@houstonisd.org.
Families must attend the meeting for students to be able to apply for the exchange. Should you not be able to attend, please contact Ms. Borsa by email.
