FOX25 – TV

Join us Friday, September 30, 2016 at Calabrese Stadium (Marshall Middle School) when the undefeated BMHS Indians football team takes on Everett at 7 p.m.  The 99 Restaurant in Billerica will take over concessions for the evening, cooking up mouth-watering burgers and hotdogs.  Spirit gear, 50/50 raffle, and Pluck-a-Duck for the kiddies will also be available with all proceeds benefiting the BMHS Athletic Association — a non-profit, parent-volunteer organization that provides scholarships, awards, and recognition to all student-athletes at Billerica Memorial High School.  Come on out to support the BMHSAA and cheer on your football team.  #GoGreen!

Blackout Bullying Day

On Wednesday, September 28, Billerica Memorial High School will be participating in our district's Blackout Bullying Day. This is an annual event to help students understand the impact bullying can have on their peers, ways we can prevent it from occurring, and supports in place if they become aware of someone being subjected to bullying. We will be asking our students to wear black as an outward demonstration in support of a bullying free environment.

BMHS School Profile

Each year we provide colleges and universities an overview of BMHS to help them understand the expectations and successes of our students as they prepare for the upcoming college application season. This document is available on our web site, or can be accessed with this link BMHS School Profile 2016-2017

MEFA College Financing Seminar

Parents and students are invited to attend a free seminar on paying for college, which will be held on Tuesday, September 27, at 6:30 PM in the BMHS Lecture Hall. This seminar is offered through MEFA, the Commonwealth’s authority on planning, saving, and paying for college. An experienced MEFA representative will provide an overview of the college financing process, including types of financial aid, how to apply, and financing options for your family. Before the seminar, be sure to visit MEFA’s website — mefa.org — to download a copy of the seminar presentation and explore other tools and resources to assist you in the college planning process. ***Please note that this seminar is being held much earlier than in past years.  This is because the FAFSA form for this year’s seniors will be released on October 1, 2016. You won’t want to miss this event!


Flu Shots

The Billerica Public Schools will NOT be offering a flu clinic to students this year. Please read the attached document from the Nursing Department.



Building Committee

The next Building Committee Meeting will take place this Thursday, September 29 at the Town Hall. Please note the time of the meeting has been changed and will begin at 5:00 p.m. instead of its customary 6:30 p.m. start time.

Class of 1966 50th Reunion

This Saturday, October 1 at 10:00 a.m., we will welcome back the Class of 1966 as they celebrate their 50th high school reunion. We have been fortunate to welcome back the Classes of 1964 and 1965 the past two years as they transported themselves back to their high school days, walking around the Memorial Building and sharing stories that I still have difficulty believing. Although the teachers they speak about are not in our building anymore their reputations are legendary and the contributions they made have shaped our school and its history many years beyond their retirement.
