The Athletic / Activities Office hours are 7:15 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. Fines can be paid before school, during lunch and after school. You will be given a check-out sheet which must be signed by each teacher, the library, food service, the attendance and athletic offices, which indicates you have cleared all responsibilities and obligations. If you are earning any credits outside the regular school day, these should be indicated on the bottom of this form and your progress appropriately documented. Your participation in Graduation is determined from information on this sheet. Running Start students will receive college check-out forms from the BEHS counseling office during the week of May 12th for classes required for graduation. You are responsible for having each of your college instructor’s sign and indicate “passing” or “not passing” the class.

The check-out sheets are to be turned in to Counseling Office, and all fines paid to Mrs. Drye in the Athletic/Activities Office before June 10th in order to be able to participate in Graduation. Please pay any monies owed before check out, as this will speed up the check out process.

Diplomas can be picked up in the Athletic office between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 18th. Some students will not receive a diploma at that time.

It is your responsibility to pick it up (immediate family members are allowed to pick up as well). SCHOLARSHIPS AND AWARDS Scholarship applications have been distributed as they become available. These awards are listed in the graduation program. Not all organizations notify the school of their scholarships and/or awards. In order to have each Senior recognized accurately, please see that Mrs. Murdock in the Counseling office is notified of an award/scholarship as soon as you are informed. Those receiving an award should also take a moment to write a brief "thank you" to the organization that honored them. PICTURES AT GRADUATION O’Connor Photography will be taking pictures of each Senior as they receive their diploma. Proofs will be mailed to your home shortly after graduation.
