Welcome to the BHS Parents’ Group (PG) website.  The purpose of the BHS Parents’ Group is to assist in granting our staff requests for additional materials and classroom supplies, and to provide programs that will enrich our students’ educational experience.  We are the crucial communication link between home and school so we encourage you to participate and support the Parents’ Group.
