BHS School Counseling Newsletter -  May 2024

Do you know that we have a School-Based Health Center at BHS where students can access mental health counseling services during the school day? A Licensed Clinical Social Worker is on-site to provide care just like a community-based mental health provider’s office does. Parents/guardians don’t have to miss time from work to take their child to an outside provider for many mental health services, since they are provided at the SBHC right here at BHS. Click here to learn more!

The BHS 212 Spotlight is back!  Please consider recognizing a student, faculty member, coach, parent, staff, or anyone else who is connected to Brookfield High School and has positively contributed to our community.  Click here to go to the submission form. 

Have a great week,
Marc Balanda
