District Calendar

BHS has a Little Free Library in front of our building on 7^th Street! The main purpose is to encourage BHS students to read, but because a LFL is a “take a book, leave a book” philosophy, you might find literature from all genres and levels. Feel free to grab a good read for yourself and exchange it with one you think students might find interesting.

And the beautiful box was decorated by our very own, Paul Noot (BHS Art teacher).

Tribute to Achievements

BHS acknowledges honors and awards that our staff and students achieve during the year.  We try very hard to catch every achievement.  If your student receives honors or an award this year, please call (701-323-4800 ext. 6006) or email Cassie Bauer cassie_bauer@bismarckschools.org with the information. This will help assure that we don’t miss anyone. Honors and Awards are also highlighted in the yearbook.
