ACT Aspire Summative testing was this week at Bauxite High School. Students who were present each day of testing, arrived in time, and worked hard on their test using close to or all of their allotted time were placed in a drawing for a $50 gift card. Congratulations to our winners, Jayden Khamis and Hillary Perdomo! Thanks for working so hard, girls! Great time to be a Miner!!
The annual BHS Talent Show will be tomorrow at 1:00 PM in the auditorium. Cost has been lowered to $2 for students and $5 for adults.
We are excited to announce that junior Hannah Graham is being recognized by Congressman French Hill as one of this year’s Educational Awards Program recipients. The Program, instituted by Rep. Hill, is designed to recognize high school students who have shown significant commitments to academics, their school and the community.
Due to COVID-19, there is no in-person award ceremony, but Representative Hill's office made a recognition video for the students. See Bauxite's own Hannah Graham at 19:04 minutes into the video.
Congratulations, Hannah!
