Saturday, 2/15 is National School Resource Officer Day, so our Interact students and High School Student Ambassadors decided to honor our amazing SRO, Deputy Earl Davidson! We are thankful for all he does to keep Bell High School safe!


Parents/Students: Just a reminder that Thursday, 2/13 and Friday, 2/14 are Teacher Workdays with no school for students. Also, Monday, 2/17 is President's Day, and schools will be closed that day as well. We look forward to seeing everyone back on Tuesday!



Last week was National School Counseling Week, which is devoted to focusing public attention on the unique contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems. BHS is thankful for our School Counselors, Lilian Weeks (High School) and Xina Leggett (Middle School). We appreciate all that they do!


3rd 9 weeks progress reports went home with students today. Please contact your child's teacher with any questions or concerns.

The U.S. Presidential Scholars Program was established in 1964, by executive order of the President, to recognize and honor some of our nation's most distinguished graduating high school seniors. In 1979, the program was extended to recognize students who demonstrate exceptional talent in the visual, creative and performing arts. In 2015, the program was again extended to recognize students who demonstrate ability and accomplishment in career and technical education fields. Each year, up to 161 students are named as Presidential Scholars, one of the nation's highest honors for high school students.
CONGRATULATIONS to BHS Senior Fisher Langford for making the US Presidential Scholars Candidate program list! Awesome job!

Congratulations to Gwendolyn Banks, Bell High School Class of 2025 Valedictorian (pictured on right), and Addison Lunn, Bell High School Class of 2025 Salutatorian (pictured on left)! We are so proud of both of these young ladies!
