Welcome To BHS (9th grade students)

Welcome to Bremerton High School Class of 2029!

Welcome to Bremerton High School!

Dear Incoming 9th Grade Students and Families,

On behalf of the entire Bremerton High School community, I am thrilled to welcome you to Bremerton High School! We are so excited to have you join us as the Class of 2029!

Transitioning to high school is a big step, and we want to make this process as smooth and informative as possible. You will be hearing from our freshman counselor Lisa Lesueur-Shea in the coming weeks with some important information about course selection.  

In the meantime, we hope you will save the date for Course Selection Night! 

Please join us on February 20 from 5-6:30 at Bremerton High School for 8th grade Course Selection Night! This event will provide you with the opportunity to:

  • Meet BHS teachers, counselors, coaches and students

  • Learn about course options, graduation requirement and extracurricular activities: 

  • Ask questions

We encourage both students and parents/guardians to attend this important event.  We will start off with a short presentation in the Performing Arts Center (“The PAC”) and then transition to a resource fair in the Commons. There is plenty of parking in the student parking lot (corner of 13th St. and Ohio Avenue) in addition to street parking. Please enter through the main entrance at the front of the school.  

We hope to see you there!

Go Knights!


Erin Wilkinson
