Another Record-Breaking Year for Buddies, Books, and Bagels! 🥯📚

Our Friday morning was filled with smiles, stories, and of course... fresh bagels! We were thrilled to host so many parents, high school mentors, and staff members for our annual event.

Excellence in Action: Breckenridge NHS Induction 2026

he spirit of excellence was on full display last night, Thursday, April 30, as the Breckenridge High School chapter of the National Honor Society (NHS) held its annual induction ceremony. The evening served as both a formal welcome for the chapter's newest members and a heartfelt tribute to the graduating seniors who have dedicated their high school careers to the organization's mission.

Friends, family, and faculty gathered in the auditorium to witness the traditional candle-lighting ceremony, a symbolic tribute to the four foundational pillars that define every NHS member:

Scholarship: A commitment to lifelong learning and academic rigor.

Service: The desire to volunteer time and talent to help others without compensation.

Leadership: The courage to guide others and exert a positive influence on the school and community.

Character: The pursuit of integrity, honesty, and reliability in all aspects of life.

Welcoming New Leaders

The ceremony highlighted the hard work and discipline required to earn a seat in this prestigious organization. As the new inductees recited the NHS pledge, they committed themselves to maintaining these high standards and continuing the chapter’s legacy of community support.

Celebrating Our Seniors

While the night was about new beginnings, it was also a moment of reflection for the chapter's seniors. These students were honored for their years of service, having organized local initiatives and served as role models for their peers. As they prepare for graduation, their contributions leave a lasting impact on both the school halls and the wider Breckenridge community.

"Being part of NHS isn't just about an academic record; it's about what you do with your knowledge to make the world around you better. Tonight, we celebrate that drive to serve."

Congratulations to all the new inductees and a huge thank you to our seniors for their unwavering commitment to excellence!

 

Personnel/Leadership

📣 Attention BES Parents - Important PM Pickup Info!

We need your help to keep traffic flowing smoothly at dismissal. Due to spring sports starting up, we have increased activity at the ball fields.

Please allow for through traffic from the BES parking lot to the ball fields.

To assist with this, our maintenance team has painted fresh white lines. Please use these lines as a guide and do not block the lane. It’s essential to leave this space open for coaches, athletes, and families who need to travel to the fields for practices and games.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping to keep everyone safe and on time! ⚾️🏃‍♀️🚗
