Bunker Hill HIGH SCHOOL parents and students!!!
The last day to purchase your 2023-2024 BHHS Yearbook is quickly approaching and, sadly, only 35 books have so far been ordered. We know that in this day and age of social media, it is tempting to assume that you won't be missing out on anything by not purchasing a yearbook, but many adults will tell you that they value that physical historic artifact from their high school experience. Don't miss your opportunity!
A lot of work is going into its creation, so order today!
**If you are unsure if you've ordered, please contact rwilkinson@bhcusd.org to check. Final day to order will be Friday, 4/26.

Wednesdays baseball and softball games will be played at 4:00 at Lovelace Park.
It is spring break week, but our Minutemen are still playing! Good luck!
