This week, BUHSD schools welcomed seniors and their families for Senior Family & FAFSA Nights! From connecting with college and trade school representatives to exploring scholarships, financial aid, and military opportunities, students and families had the chance to ask questions, gather resources, and start mapping out what life after high school could look like.
Behind every big next step is a community cheering our students on. Weβre proud to help our seniors explore their options, find their path, and get ready for everything that comes NEXT!

Yesterday our future educators spent National Be a Teacher Day where it counts: in classrooms! The EFHS Education Professions students teamed up with students at Westar Elementary for their STEAM buddy day! Watching them guide students, ask great questions, and cheer on every kid reminds us exactly why this pathway matters.
Thank you, Westar teachers, for opening your classrooms to our cadets! π



For our first lesson, students used Makey Makey kits to design and build accessible game pads, learning how STEM can make play possible for every learner.

BUHSD schools and offices will have modified hours during Fall Break, October 12β16. Please see the graphic for office hours at the District Office, BUHS, EFHS, YHS and Learning Center.
π« Students return Monday, October 19.
Have a safe, relaxing and enjoyable Fall Break, BUHSD family!

Our students are putting their creativity, problem-solving skills and engineering minds to work as they construct their βegg keepersβ for their Egg Drop Project.
From designing to building to testing, theyβre learning that sometimes the best way to understand science is to get hands-on and put it to the test! π‘π₯

Today, we celebrate and recognize the hard work, contributions, and achievements of American workers - including the educators, staff, and support teams who work every day to help our students succeed.
Did you know? Labor Day became a federal holiday in 1894, following decades of workers organizing for better working conditions, fair wages, and reasonable work hours.
As we enjoy this day, weβre grateful for the many people whose dedication and hard work help make our schools and communities stronger.
Have a safe, relaxing, and well-deserved Labor Day!
π Reminder: BUHSD is closed today, September 7, and schools will resume Tuesday, September 8.
