Attention Parents and Guardians of high school students interested in wrestling this winter:
Please make sure you have registered your student through the Snap! Registration link attached below. As this is a co-oped sport with DeLand-Weldon, this link will be different than the typical BRHS links.

Today, Art 3 students in Mrs. Ramirez's class continued working in their ceramics unit. Students are working on individual wheels to throw different items. They will eventually apply different techniques and glazes to finish their pieces. Go Knights!
Last week, on Friday the 23rd, Mr. Tongate took a group of students to DeLand-Weldon for their annual Trades and CTE Career Fair. The fair consisted of 50+ representatives of career and trade based paths students may be interested in exploring after high school, covering agriculture and construction, to emergency services and municipal government, to entreprenuership opportunities and the military. This gave BRHS students an opportunity to interact with professionals in the field and get hands on experience in variety of areas. Special thanks to DeLand-Weldon for inviting our BRHS students down for this great opportunity.
