By: Alison MacRunnel Seniors, Anna Runestad and Emily Carey both got the chance to participate at All-state speech that took place on Saturday, February 21st in Ames, IA. The two’s ensemble performance, “School Spirit” scored all one’s by three judges at state competition which gave them the opportunity to be picked for a performing or non-performing act. Carey states; “We don’t really have to prepare because we got selected for non-performing but it’s still an honor to be able to go.”
Starting next fall at BHS more DMACC dual credits will be available. Three new classes in the social studies area will be taught my Ms. Morley. These classes are be American Government, American History I and II, and also Western Civilization I and II. They will be counted as high school and Des Moines Area Community College credits.
Ms. Morley talks more about what’s being offered. “I feel that the social studies department is lacking; one hour of a college class can cost a student up to $1,000 so if I can save students some money that will be great.” Morley states. Since these classes will be available it will bring students more opportunities for college experience.
