Bremerton School District

welcome to Bremerton High School

Out with the WASL and in with the NEW HSPE for Bremerton High School students!

It’s that time of year again when all Bremerton High School Sophomores and some Juniors and Seniors will sit for our state assessment. The test that we used to know as the WASL, is now called the High School Proficiency Exam (HSPE) and there are some changes that students will like.

The test has been shortened and the four point essay questions have been eliminated on reading, math, and science tests. The HSPE will include multiple choice and short answer questions.

The test dates are March 16, 17, and 18 for Reading & Writing and April 13 and 15th
 for Math and Science.  The major difference for our students on these testing dates is that ALL STUDENTS will attend regularly scheduled classes. The test will be given in the gym so that all other students can attend their classes.

Attendance is critical for these exams as this is a graduation requirement! Parents are encouraged to ensure that your student is well rested.  

Little Shop of Horrors - A Great Performance by All!

Bremerton High School students entertained family and friends with a wonderful performance of "Little Shop of Horrors" in the Performing Arts Center March 5, 6, 12, and 14, 2010. A great performance by all! Enjoy our Photo Album of this fun event.

Katharine Gleysteen, PrincipalPrincipal’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.
