Happy Friday and Important Calendar Change


Dear Community,

I hope this message finds you well and celebrating successful management of the first cold snap of the season.  Winter is near - that is much is for sure.  Well, we successfully managed another good week at BHS.  Among the many happenings was a momentous field trip.  Two of the Facing History classes, an elective for seniors, went to hear a Holocaust survivor speak (pic below).  This is a special opportunity, as the number of survivors of this tragic historical event is quickly waning.  For our students, this was an opportunity to interact with history, up close and personal.

I have one important announcement and a request then I'll let you get on with the business of enjoying your weekend.  This week, the Superintendent announced a calendar change.  There is no school on Monday, December 23rd.  The last day of school has been pushed back to June 20th (weather permitting).  

The request - come see a debate tournament.  Brighton High has one of the largest debate teams in the city and is a perennial powerhouse.  There is a tournament this weekend at English High School - Brighton has 31 students debating.  Come check it out!  Drop in this evening from 4pm-8pm or Saturday, 8am-3pm.

Have a nice weekend!

Best,
Dr. T
