Ms. Graham’s Professional Communications students had the opportunity to put their interview skills into practice with employers and professionals from our community!
Students practiced answering common interview questions, communicating professionally, and showcasing the skills they would bring to a future workplace.
A huge thank you to all of our amazing community volunteers who took time out of their day to come speak with our students and provide valuable feedback. Your support helps our students build confidence and prepare for their futures!

As part of our continued awareness efforts during Fentanyl Poisoning Awareness Month, please take a moment to review the infographics below. They provide facts about fentanyl.
Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid, and even one pill can be deadly. This infographic highlights the growing impact of fentanyl-related deaths and the dangers.
Sharing this information can help parents and families recognize potential warning signs and have important conversations with their children.

🐾We are celebrating our ASL program and the opportunities it provides our students.
🤟Mrs. Boswell is our BHS ASL teacher and her love for American Sign Language began nearly 30 years ago when she took an ASL class at church.
🫶A Burkburnett native, Mrs. Boswell says it means a lot to be able to teach ASL at BHS and share something she truly loves with students in her own community.
🧡 In her classroom, Mrs. Boswell keeps things fun and interactive by incorporating school events, holidays, games, conversations, and real-life situations into her lessons. Students spend most of their time signing and communicating with one another. This year, she’s seeing firsthand how that extra practice is helping her students grow.
🌟A typical lesson is very interactive. We begin with a fingerspelling warm-up with a partner every day, followed by vocabulary or a new language concept. I model the language, but students quickly move into practicing it themselves through partners, small groups, or whole-class activities. Students might ask and answer questions, describe something, tell a story, or participate in a conversation using the target vocabulary.
🐾A major part of my classroom is the voice-off environment. Instead of constantly stopping to explain everything verbally, I use ASL, visuals, modeling, demonstrations, and written directions. This gives students an opportunity to learn how to understand and communicate in ASL rather than simply learning about ASL.
“I truly enjoy ASL and the Deaf community, and I feel very fortunate to be doing what I love and what I believe I was called to do.”
You can watch our ASL students signing during the National Anthem at home sporting events.
🧡We’re so thankful for the passion Mrs. Boswell brings to her students and our ASL program!

The BHS Cosmetology program welcomed aesthetician Brunette Wildridge, who spent time with seniors working toward their cosmetology licenses. Students learned about the importance of finding their passion within the beauty industry while gaining insight into the business side of building a successful career. Ms. Wildridge also demonstrated specific industry skills, including client intake procedures and the services offered within her profession.
Ms. Wildridge is a former student of BHS Cosmetology instructor Mrs. Lyn Doan and credits Mrs. Doan as an important part of her journey and success in the industry.
