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 with which they have difficulty.

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.

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.

 

Our Building

Bremerton High School’s main building opened in 1988. The campus in situated on a fifteen-acre site with a stadium and athletic fields. The school contains 55 regular classrooms and three portables, which are supported by a library media center, four computer labs, gymnasium, band room, choir room, piano lab, graphics and photography lab, television lab, weight room, and modern science labs. Our school also hosts an auto shop that was renovated in 1995 and a state-of-the-art performing arts center which is used by both school and community groups.

This year, we opened a new building with nine additional classrooms, as well as media, music, and physical education spaces that now accommodate the addition of our 9th grade students, who were formerly housed off-site, at our Freshman Academy.
