We'll see you at Bearcat Blitz 2026—let's get geared up, plugged in, and ready for an amazing year! ⚡🐻

The BHS Basketball Cheer Booster Club and Coach Dee proudly hosted the 2026 Basketball Cheer Youth Mini Camp on June 24-26, 2026, welcoming enthusiastic campers ages 4-13. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone for making this a memorable experience.
This is not just a school musical—we are auditioning for an acting competition, and we are looking to build a strong, committed competition cast. Join us Friday 7/31 from 9am - Noon. Students must sign up for a time slot. Auditions will be held in the PAC.
Come into your audition ready to make bold choices and show us what makes YOU unusual. We aren’t looking for perfection—we are looking for performers who are willing to take direction, try something new, and fully commit. Because this is a One Act competition production, students must remain in good academic standing to participate.
Please also seriously consider your availability before auditioning. Rehearsals are held after school on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 3:00–4:30 PM. We are looking for approximately 20 committed performers ready to work, grow, and create something wonderfully strange together.
🖤 Come prepared.
🖤 Be bold.
🖤 Be heard.
🖤 Be strange.
