BHS Student Receives YWCA Women of Achievement Award

Every year the YWCA of Kitsap County recognizes women in the community who have gone beyond the call of duty to make a difference in the lives of those who live here. This year, Bremerton High School Sophomore, Keturah Edmond was selected to receive this prestigious award.

Selected in 2008 and 2009 to represent the Kitsap community at the National Youth Leadership Conference in Minnesota, Keturah is not only an exemplary student, but a community advocate for issues surrounding domestic violence and juvenile justice. She is currently the President of the Black Student Union at Bremerton High School, a tutor at West Hills Elementary, and NAACP Youth Council Member where she is Secretary and works with a junior team. As a member of the Emmanuel Apostolic Church, Keturah is a leader in the youth department, where she ministers to others in song and dance. Every Saturday for the last 1 1/2 years she has volunteered at the YWCA ALIVE Shelter for survivors of domestic violence and their children.

Principal’s Message

Safety, Respect, and Responsibility is the Knight Way. These three words have become more than just a motto at BHS as we are focused as a collective group on making positive change in these areas throughout each school year.  Our goal is to encourage an atmosphere where best behavior practices are in place so meaningful learning can occur each day.

We continue to experience positive improvement on the WASL (Washington Assessment of Student Learning).  Our students and staff have worked very hard to improve each year. BHS has added several WASL Standards classes for students who need assistance in preparing for the WASL exam, and learning the skills they have difficulty with.

For our high achieving students we have added several Honors Science, World Languages, and English classes. More and more of our students are enrolling in Advanced Placement courses as we continue to increase the number of available AP and Honors classes. We look forward to maintaining these course offerings in the future.

We also offer alternative programs: Drawbridge and NovaNET for credit retrieval and academic boosts for students in need. Our enrollment for these programs is steady as it provides an alternative to the normal comprehensive high school setting.

BHS continues to expand its Navigation 101 portfolio program. This academic record and planner begins in the ninth grade and finishes with a senior presentation four years later. During this process, students use these small groups to explore career pathways, see the value in their current classes as they relate to post-high school goals, and to celebrate examples of their current accomplishments both inside and outside of school. Each student is assigned a Portfolio Advisor to help them successfully complete this process.

As Bremerton High School continues the current educational emphasis on clear targets and high expectations for all students, I am confident we are preparing our students with the skills to meet their own future dreams. Thank you to the Bremerton families and community who are so committed to this same goal.
