SENIOR PARENTS:  During ILT on Monday, March 25th, the BHS Yearbook will be taking the 2024 class photo on the football turf. As you may recall from past graduating classes, Seniors will create a “24” formation on the field for the class picture.  Seniors should bring a white shirt to wear, as we would like to create a “white-out” for this picture.   Immediately following the class of 2024 picture, the yearbook will take the 13-Year Club photo on the bleachers. The 13-Year Club photo is for students who have been members of the Brookfield school system for 13 years straight (from Kindergarten through the 12th grade). If you are a part of this group, please stick around after the class photo and move up to the bleachers.  More reminders will be sent as we get closer to March 25th, but please save the date now.  If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Steinbeiser (steinbeisera@brookfieldps.org).

Junior Prom will be held at the Amber Room Colonnade on April 5th from 6:00pm - 10:00 pm.   Tickets are being sold for $95 and will be sold on MySchoolBucks from March 11th-22nd.   You can also purchase tickets in the cafeteria or from Mrs. D'Arcangelo in the main office from March 15th-22nd. 

Penguin Plunge Brookfield Unified Sports Athletes and Coaches will be participating in the 2024 Penguin Plunge (click here)  on March 23 at Brookfield Town Beach.  If you want to donate to the Special Olympics cause (click the link below and select "Donate"), all forms of participation are encouraged.  Brookfield High School Penguin Plunge Fundraising Page

Course Registration Process - Throughout the month of March, School Counselors will be visiting 9th and 10th students in ILT to provide a comprehensive overview of the Course Registration process. Counselors have been meeting with 11th grade students 1:1 to review remaining graduation requirements and for the purposes of course planning for senior year.  To ensure you and your child are well-prepared for this process, we encourage you to refer to the attached document outlining the key aspects of the course registration process. Additionally, you can find more detailed information and valuable resources on the BHS School Counseling Website
