The drama program is entering its 17^th season and provides an opportunity for all high school students to have their time on stage and learn how theater works. We have an average of 50+ students working on everything from acting, stage crew, set design, technology, hair/make-up/costume design, choreography, food service, and event planning. It’s a great way for students of all ages and skill levels to bond together in a team environment. Parents are also welcome to volunteer and participate in putting together the production.

This year we are going to be performing Disney’s High School Musical. Auditions are going to be November 8-11 and are open to all high school students. Practices start in January and we will be doing the usual dinner theater and theater seating options for the production dates on March 17-19.

BCS is blessed to have a senior high chapter of the National Honor Society. The purpose of our honor society is to advance Christian scholarship, challenge Christian leadership, honor Christian character, and stimulate Christian service. Members must maintain a 3.5 cumulative GPA (on an unweighted 4.0 scale) to be inducted into and remain a member of the society. Membership in the Honor Society is a privilege which students may forfeit because of scholarship, deportment, or any other standards used for their selection, as deemed by the administration. An induction ceremony is held for NHS members. The NHS induction ceremony is held in the fall of each school year. Student honor society leaders take an active role in the ceremony itself. Society members select service projects, such as peer tutoring to fulfill their service requirement. At the graduation ceremony, senior high honor society members are provided with a special honor stole to wear to honor their achievement We believe the National Honor Society makes a positive difference in the lives of individuals and in the spirit of the community and BCS.
