Today, we pause to recognize Patriots Day, observed each year in remembrance of the tragic events of September 11, 2001. On this day, we honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost, the courage of first responders, and the resilience shown by our nation in the face of adversity. Patriots Day serves as a reminder of the values that unite us: service, compassion, courage, and commitment to one another. As a school community, we encourage everyone to reflect on the importance of kindness, respect, and civic responsibility. At this time, we invite you to honor the victims, survivors, first responders, military members, and all those whose lives were impacted by the events of September 11th. Let us carry forward the spirit of unity and service throughout our day. Have a meaningful day, and thank you for being part of our school community.

🇺🇸 Happy Labor Day, BUHSD!

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, we’re 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!

📅 Reminder: BUHSD is closed today, September 7, and schools will resume Tuesday, September 8.

To ensure smooth parking at the school, all drivers must secure a parking pass by August 31st. The cost for the entire academic year is $70. However, if you're graduating early, the fee is reduced to $35. Students coming from West-MEC are exempt from purchasing a new pass; they should simply display their West-MEC parking pass in their vehicle window. Remember, the deadline to have this sorted is August 31st, and passes can be conveniently purchased at the bookstore. Make sure to adhere to these guidelines to avoid any parking issues.
