Branford High School

Join us Monday 11/16 at 3pm in the BHS auditorium as we celebrate five incredible student athletes at our fall collegiate signings. 🥎 Harleigh Price — Florida State University Softball 🥎 Hunter Revis — Florida Gateway College Softball 🥎 Dani Whitfield — Pensacola State College Softball 🥎 Kendra Stevens — Daytona Beach Christian University Softball ⚾ Kyler Williamson — Santa Fe College Baseball These athletes have spent years working toward this moment. Behind each signing are countless hours of practice, sacrifices, and determination. We would love a big turnout from our community to celebrate their accomplishments and show them that their hometown will be cheering them on as they take this next step! No matter where life takes you, or what colors you wear next, you will always be Buccaneers. We are so extremely proud of all five of you!

FFA members originally started the day with the “Real Cabbage Patch Kids” by letting each of Ms. Jensen’s class plant a cabbage. The students will see who can grow the biggest cabbage in hopes of winning a prize. The real prize is that they are learning about plants. We ended up at the barn looking at the new lambs where the children were able to pet them.

Reminder: No school Wednesday, November 11, in observance of Veterans Day. We honor the brave men and women who have served our country. Thank you, Veterans, for your service and sacrifice!

Huge congratulations to Claire Bond, who has qualified for the Class 1A Girls Golf State Championship! Earning a spot at state is an incredible accomplishment and a reflection of Claire’s hard work, dedication, and talent. What an honor to represent Branford among Florida’s best high school golfers! Claire will compete at Mission Resort + Club, Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida next week! Join us in wishing Claire the best as she heads to state! Go Bucs!
