Electrify Your Strings!

What do the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, the Brecksville-Broadview Heights School District, and October 29th, 2022, have in common? The answer is a super-hot music education program called, “Electrify Your Symphony,” which will take the stage in October, featuring nearly 200 orchestra kids rocking out with instruments in hand. It is on Saturday, October 29, at the Middle School. Tickets for the "Electrify Your Symphony" program are available for purchase online.

Congratulations, Jacob Yee: New Eagle Scout!

Becoming an Eagle Scout is a long journey that takes tremendous dedication and perseverance. Jacob is the 3rd member of his family to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout, following in the footsteps of his older brothers, Joshua and Micah. Jacob earned the rank of Eagle Scout by accomplishing several complex tasks. Jacob has earned 51 merit badges. He has attended seven summer and four winter camps and has been honored as a year-round camper three times (2017, 2018, and 2021). Jacob has camped over 150 nights in his scouting career. Jacob has also earned the honor of Boot Club 50 miler and Boot Club 300 miler as he has hiked 356 miles. Jacob earned the World Conservation award in 2021 and the Second Silver Eagle Palm Award.  

In addition to being a troop leader, Jacob has also won the community service award six times with 205.8 hours of community service. For Jacob’s Eagle Scout Project he chose a construction project at the Asian Evergreen Apartments in downtown Cleveland. Jacob’s project consisted of constructing outdoor furniture for the elderly residents of the apartment complex. Jacob organized a group of scouts and volunteers to construct four benches and a picnic table for the residents. The project took a total of 144 hours to complete.

We are proud to recognize Jacob Yee as Eagle Scout #158 of Troop 701.

Senior Internship Assistance

Each year Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School offers graduating students an opportunity to complete a three-week career internship experience instead of traditional school attendance.  The program provides valuable career exploration experience and helps students as they begin to transition to post-secondary educational endeavors.   We are pleased to once again offer this three-week internship opportunity to the Class of 2023.

Our internship program rapidly grew until the Covid-19 pandemic dramatically altered available partnerships.  Since Covid-19 restrictions are lessened and many companies are returning to more traditional office settings, we are looking to increase available student internship opportunities for the Class of '23.  We are seeking intern host sites willing to accept Brecksville-Broadview Heights students for our May internship period starting May 8, 2023, and concluding May 25, 2023.  If you would be interested in hosting a BBHHS student for this opportunity, please contact Mrs. Randi Borosh to discuss being a potential internship host.  We are excited to learn about your company and how we can connect our students with you!
