Celebrate BHSC Teachers!
We’re partnering with the Kolton Kaiser Foundation of New Albany to spotlight one amazing BHSC teacher each week—rotating by school (BES → HES → BHS → HHS). The featured teacher will appear on BHSC and school websites/ socials and receive a $50 Amazon gift card for classroom needs.
How to nominate (families of students only):
Tell us which teacher you’re nominating and share a specific story about how they’ve made a difference.
Submit the form: https://forms.gle/GiXWU2pGzVKXmcxHA
How selection works:
A central-office committee reviews nominations without teacher names (stories only).
Quality of the story—not the number of submissions—guides the choice.
One teacher from the scheduled school is selected each week.
Thank you for helping us celebrate the people who make BHSC special! 🧡
Last year, of the students who participated in this program in its initial pilot at HES, 100% of students reported that they felt their ROX leader cares about them, 82% of those students said they felt more connected to girls their age, and 73% said they felt like they could really be themselves as they participated in ROX.
BHSC would like to thank the Kolton Kaiser Foundation again for helping sponsor students' participation in the program!

Students in Mrs. Murrihy's Medical Detectives course tested how well different antibiotics stop bacterial growth by measuring the “zone of inhibition.” Students measured the clear rings—called the zone of inhibition—around each antibiotic disk to compare results and choose the best performer. Real data, real lab skills, and lots of teamwork!
The WHAS Crusade for Children visited Borden High School on Friday to see students developing life skills through the Borden Brews and Cruise Cart! Check out the Crusade's Facebook post, and thank you for supporting the WHAS Crusade for Children. Your generosity helps students strengthen independence and practice real-world skills. These meaningful learning opportunities make a huge difference in the lives of our students and their families.
Beginning this school year, families will be able to view their child’s state assessment results in Cambium’s Indiana Family Portal — including ILEARN (Checkpoints & Summative), IREAD-3, and I AM.
📅 When? Access opens after ILEARN Checkpoint 1 results begin posting in late September 2025.
🔐 How do we log in? Your school will share Family Portal access codes and step-by-step login instructions with you once results are available.
📄 What will I see? Clear, family-friendly score information for your student’s recent assessments—all in one place.
Look for a message in a few weeks from your school with your child’s access code and login directions. Sharing that code and logging in to the Family Portal is enough to view results (schools may still provide printed Individual Student Reports as needed).
Questions? Contact the BHSC Corporation Test Coordinator shurst@bhsc.school.
