We have a few events this week!
There will be a Buy-Out for Thursday's Boys Basketball Tournament starting January 7th until 11am January 8th. Students who had good attendance (less than 10% days absent) and no D's or F's for S2 are eligible to purchase a buyout ticket for Thursday's BHS Varsity Basketball game at 11AM. Buyout tickets will cost $3 and students who are eligible will find a virtual pass in their 5-Star account. Students must show this virtual ticket to Alane or Tristen in the front office at the time of purchase in order to receive their ticket to the game.
Friday, we will be recognizing our students who demonstrated perfect attendance for all of their classes the week of December 15th-19th with popcorn, video games, and movies in the Library during Student Development. If you are eligible for this, you will receive your ticket to this event in your 5-Star account. Please report to your Student Development class on Friday and show this e-ticket to your SD teacher when students are released for the event.
Happy New Year!
I hope you had a restful and relaxing holiday break and are ready to finish out the Spring 2026 semester strong!
Belen High School leadership is trying to gather interest information for the possibility of offering after-school credit recovery for students who may need it in order to increase their chances of graduating on-time. We are also exploring the possibility of using peer tutors for students to help with some of our students who struggle in certain subject areas. We are asking that all of our students complete this survey by Sunday, January 11th. Students will need to use their school issued email account in order to complete the form.
After-School Credit Recovery Interest Survey – Fill out form
Just a reminder that tomorrow we will be celebrating our students who earned our 2nd attendance challenge reward. In and effort to improve on our practices, students will receive their ticket to this event through their 5-Star account. These will be the only tickets that will be accepted. We will be on on our Extended Lunch bell schedule https://aptg.co/r4NXvb. Please plan accordingly.

This week BHS Drama is opening Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None.
We would like to send out a cautionary note to all of the contents of this particular performance. The original book is the world's best-selling mystery and, with over 100 million copies sold, is one of the best-selling books of all time. The novel has been listed as the seventh best-selling title (any language, including reference works) of all time. It has also been taught in high school classrooms around the world including in our senior English classes in previous years. While our society is challenged by issues surrounding these topics we felt it was worth producing and (spoiler alert) "the bad guy gets it in the end." "Gunshots" that happen during the final scene of the production. Our Director (Mr. Caleb Ramsell) has thoughtfully and deliberately chosen to maintain this action from the original production while eliminating a forced suicide by a female actor.
With Administrative approval and having notified Belen Police Department and our BHS security Team. We want you to be aware that a starters pistol (referred to within the Production team as "The Prop") will be used for the final scene of the play. Weapons handling safety protocols will be in place ( an adult will control and check "The Prop," hand it to the actor for the scene and will immediately take control of The Prop when it comes off stage.)
What this means to you - -There will be 3 loud gun shots (the sound effect) during 3rd/4th period Wednesday Dec 3 (daytime performance), and again during the evening productions Dec, 4, 5 and 6.
BHS Drama has worked diligently to put on this performance and would like to invite you to come see one of our evening shows on Dec. 4th, 5th, or 6th. Doors open at 6:30PM. BHS Faculty and Staff get in free with their ID.
Thank you,
Caleb Ramsell & Stephen Boliver

Today is our 2025-2026 Eagle Expo! As a reminder, all students will begin their day in their assigned Student Development class.
Tomorrow, BHS will be hosting our annual Eagle Expo. This is an opportunity for our students to speak and learn from local business partners and colleges about post-high school opportunities. This is a required school day, and is a great opportunity for all students to learn about various options after high school. All students will begin the day in their Student Development class. Thank you all, and we hope to see you all there!
Tomorrow is BHS's Fall State testing day. All students will begin in their Student Development class where they will be notified which room they are to report to. This is a required school day for all BHS students 9-12. All 9th, 10th, & 11th grade students will be testing in the morning. 12th graders who signed up to take a practice ACT, SAT, or ASVAB test will do so. All other 12th graders will be working on an assigned English IV assignment in the morning. After lunch, all 12th graders will participate in a FASFA event in the auditorium. Please ensure your student brings their school issued laptop fully charged for the day as charging ports are extremely limited in testing rooms. Also, please ensure your student arrives on time tomorrow to ensure a smooth experience and to avoid having to miss class for their make-up test. Thank you all for your assistance with this!
