Yearbook News
A Google form will be sent to the seniors to submit information, but Mrs. Rush (mrs.rush@bwhs.org) will take submissions from parents.
The yearbook is in need of the following from every senior: a senior quote, a senior picture, and the option of a baby picture and/or you in a school related activity.

BWHS Faculty Achievements |
|
Congratulations to Mrs. Julia (Frye ’03) Parks, Theology teacher and BWHS alumna, for participating at the 46th annual International Patristic, Medieval, and Renaissance Conference at Villanova University on Friday, October 15. Mrs. Parks presented her paper, titled, "#Blessed: Mary’s Heart and Beatitude in Scripture and the Fathers," examining connections between Mary's life and blessedness and the life of the Christian disciple.
Congratulations also go to Vice Principal of Academics Ms. Abby Teeters for two publications in the field of educational leadership. Earlier this year she was a co-author for a chapter in Study Abroad in Teacher Education: Transformation at the Global Scale. This month she was published as a co-author in the International Journal of Social Sciences & Educational Studies. Both publications deal with an exploration of university supervisors’ perceptions of student teachers’ experiences and supervisors’ experiences in a study abroad program in United States Department of Defense Schools in Germany.
