Week 6 - Fall Semester 2022/22

Principal's message:

Happy Friday Coyotes! We have completed the first grading period of the year. Great job to all those students who have started their year by working hard and really embracing the opportunity to learn each and every day. If you aren't satisfied with your marks, then make the adjustment. We have four more weeks until the end of the quarter and a few months until the end of the semester. Keep up the hard work!

Check out the new segment of the newsletter below to meet those that impact our campus in a positive way. Speaking of impacting campus, big shout out to girls basketball who showed up to support boys water polo on Wednesday. Their support was worth at least a couple points, and with a razor thin 13-12 victory, you never know how much your support means.  Way to #supporthepack

Lastly, fun fact, this past week was the United States Air Force's birthday! The Air Force used to be the flying arm of the US Army during its early days, but in 1947, separated off into its own branch of the military. Being in the AF for over 22 years, September 18th is always marked in my calendar :) 

I hope you all have a great weekend! Go Coyotes!

In this new segment of the newsletter, we're going to highlight staff and their contributions to BPHS. We're starting with our amazing district grounds crew who are here (at the very least) every Wednesday, but are in and around campus other days as needed to ensure BPHS looks amazing! Part of the wonderful feel you get when you step on campus is due in large part to the hard work and meticulous attention paid to our grounds. We have a lot of vegetation her at The Park, and our grounds crew takes pride in making BPHS the best looking campus around! So big THANK YOU to the following individuals for their contributions to BPHS:

Manny Olivares

John Pride

Geo Gonzalez

Mike Chesmore
