Congratulations to our 2026 Homecoming Court! We are excited to celebrate these students and can’t wait to see who will be crowned our 2026 Homecoming Princess and Queen! 🏴‍☠️ Friday, September 25 Homecoming Princess Crowning — Pregame Homecoming Queen Crowning — Halftime Make plans to join us at Buccaneer Stadium for one of our favorite BHS traditions and help us celebrate our 2026 Homecoming Court! Congratulations to all of our attendants and finalists!

What a wonderful day to be a Buccaneer! BHS was full of school spirit today as our students showed up in full force in their CAMO for tonight’s game! We had an awesome pep rally led by our Varsity Cheerleaders, with our JV Cheerleaders, Majorettes, and Band helping bring the energy! We introduced this year’s Varsity Football Team, recognized our Fall Sports Seniors, and also announced this year’s Homecoming Court, Princess Finalists, and Queen Finalists! There were plenty of games, lots of cheering, and some great class competition — and congratulations to the 8th Grade Class for winning the Spirit Stick! The fun continues tonight at Buccaneer Stadium! 6:30 PM — Fall Sports Senior Night Ceremony 7:30 PM — Varsity Football vs. Eagle’s View CAMO NIGHT! See you tonight! GO BUCS!

Communication takes practice! Students in Mrs. Roberts’ Business & Leadership classes put their communication skills to the test this week with a Blind Drawing Challenge! Working with a partner, one student had to describe a picture without showing it, while the other tried to draw it using only the directions they were given. Students worked with friends, classmates they didn’t know as well, and even took on a round where no talking was allowed! It was a fun way to see firsthand how important clear communication, active listening, teamwork, and patience are when working with others!

JV Football kicks off tonight in Mayo! Make plans now to show up and cheer on the Buccaneers!

Make plans now to get your camo spirit packs! These will be available for sale Thursday and Friday during all lunches. Show your Buccaneer Pride Friday at football and Tuesday at volleyball with your beads, eye black, and camo button!

In case you missed it - Hocoachella is coming!

🫀 Anatomy Challenge! 🧠 Today in Coach Santos’s Anatomy & Physiology class, students put their anatomy knowledge to the test! Working in groups, they traced a body and then worked together to draw, label, and correctly place different bones, muscles, and organs on the human body. There were definitely a few guesses along the way 😂, but it was a fun, hands-on way to see what they already know as we get started!

We’ve got a full week of Buccaneer Athletics ahead with volleyball, golf, and football in action!

Mrs. Goodman's Animal Science class made livestock animal safety posters this week.
