Barbour County High School

BCHS Students and Staff Take the Lead in Shaping the Future! At BCHS, our students and teachers wanted their voices to be heard — and they got their chance! Assistant Principal Hill organized grade-level assemblies where students participated in a SWOT Analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) to reflect on our school, leadership, and overall student experience. The energy was electric as students eagerly engaged, asked insightful questions, and voiced concerns about how their input would be shared with the district and community. Their passion didn’t stop there — our faculty and staff followed with their own SWOT Analysis, holding candid conversations about how we can grow stronger together. As one student said, "It feels good to be asked — like we matter in making this place better." Next Steps: We’re taking this powerful feedback even further by inviting district leaders and board members to hear directly from our students and staff about what was shared and where we go from here. At BCHS, we’re not just preparing for the future — we’re building it together. #BCHSPride #StudentVoice #LeadershipInAction #SWOTAnalysis #StrongerTogether

Starting Monday, April 7th at 8:15 AM, our 7th and 8th grade students will begin taking the ACAP Summative Assessment. This is an important statewide test that helps measure student progress and ensures they’re on track for academic success. ✅ Here’s how you can help your child do their best: Make sure they get a good night’s sleep each night. Ensure they eat a healthy breakfast each morning. Most importantly, have them at school on time each day next week. 📅 Attendance is critical during testing — please avoid scheduling appointments or early check-outs if possible.

Barbour County Intermediate School sixth graders took a career interest assessment. Students learned about the six different career interest areas and explored which careers match their interest.

We were delighted to have Governor Kay Ivey visit with the second graders and student ambassadors of Barbour County Intermediate School.
