Starting in your freshman year, you will have access to a range of college counseling services designed to help you gain admission to the best college for you. As you progress through BBHS, you will work closely with your counselor as he or she advises you on the college search and application process. From special evening sessions on financial aid and admissions to hosting onsite visitation from college admission directors and representatives (more than 120 each year!), we are committed to your success well beyond your time in high school.
Ending with the class of 2022, BBHS partners with Naviance, an American college and career readiness software provider that partners with high schools to provide students with college planning and career assessment tools.

SCHEDULE CHANGE REQUESTS
To request a schedule change for the 2022-23 school year, please read and follow all instructions below. Please note that counselors will start looking at these requests when they return to school in late August. Students need to watch their emails for information.
-
The student must complete the
Schedule Change Request Form by Friday, September 2. Submitting your request earlier will increase the likelihood that a change can be made.
-
Incomplete requests will not be considered. Ensure the student includes a compelling reason for requesting the change, and verify that the parent or guardian has approved the change request.
-
Note about electives: students may have received one or more alternate electives. Please know that every effort was made to provide first choice classes. It is very likely that these first choice electives were not available once core classes were scheduled. Receiving a class listed as one of the alternates does not constitute a compelling reason for a schedule change.
-
Not all schedule change requests can be granted. Possible reasons might include:
-
The request was incomplete or the reason given for the schedule change was not compelling (see Schedule Change Request Form for what constitutes a compelling reason).
-
The requested change does not fit into the student’s schedule, or the requested class is full.
Help Us Help You (Do's and Don'ts):
-
Schedule changes are made for compelling reasons only. Examples of compelling reasons: meeting graduation and college entrance requirements, having a complete schedule, etc. If a student requests to change out of a course they forecast for (or listed as an alternate), they will need to have a compelling reason for doing so.
-
Please list specific courses that you want to add in order of preference.
-
DO NOT request "whatever is available" or ask to know what is available before making the request. These requests will not be considered compelling.
-
Make requests early: while we will consider requests up to the deadline of September 2, 2022, making a request earlier will increase the likelihood that a change can be made.
-
Finally, please know that making a class change could impact other classes. If the student does not want to make changes to the rest of their schedule, please mark the appropriate box on the form.
