Brookland High School

While some things change year to year, one thing does not changed for BPS. That is BPS has some awesome teachers and staff!! As we near the end of the school year, it is that time again to nominate an "Educator of the Year" for each building. Anyone can be considered a "educator" when they have a positive impact on the students and school whether it is in the areas of academics, athletics, or social/emotional growth. Students, staff, parents, and community members are welcome to submit this form. We want everyone's input. Here is the link: https://forms.gle/GM5vqf1jfmgeHwuw5 The deadline to nominate is April 27th.
