Enjoy the rest of your Fall Break, and we can't wait to see everyone back in the building on Tuesday!
After a fast-paced start to the school year, it's time to pause, rest, and recharge. The past two months have been filled with hard work, big moments, and plenty of hustle, so don’t forget to take care of yourself during the break.
We’ll see everyone back on October 14th, refreshed and ready to finish the semester strong!
Our students participated in team-building exercises focused on respect, sportsmanship, leadership, and even responsible social media use. They explored a range of important topics and gained valuable insights to bring back and share with their teams and the broader student body.
Huge thanks to the incredible team at the KHSAA Student-Athlete Group for hosting such a meaningful event and taking great care of our students. We’re grateful for the opportunity to grow, lead, and represent BCS on such an impactful platform!
Armed with paint rollers and brushes, the Class of 2026 set to work transforming their assigned parking spots into colorful, personalized works of art. A big thank you to Natasha Johnson and Marilyn Benton from FRYSC for facilitating this opportunity, not just a fun creative outlet, but also a meaningful chance for our seniors to collaborate and connect outside of class.
Students plan to continue refining their designs over Fall Break, ensuring that by the time they return on Oct. 14, this vibrant tapestry of artwork will be ready to shine in all its glory. We can’t wait to see how the project comes together!
Thank you to Connie and Andrea McCracken, Aaron Brown, Christin Hardesty, Bobby Combs, Aaron Stepp, all our student workers, and everyone who keeps our school running smoothly every day.
You keep Berea Community in great shape, and we couldn't be more grateful!
Yesterday morning, BCHS students from a variety of grades and backgrounds came together for the first Superintendent Student Advisory Council meeting of the year with Dr. Neaves!
The group discussed their experience at Berea Community from the student perspective, sharing their views on this year's school culture, curriculum, and trajectory, and discussing ways to continue strengthening the student experience at Berea for years to come.
Initiatives like this create a powerful bridge between students and leadership. By listening directly to those walking our halls every day, Dr. Neaves, our principals, and staff stay grounded in what truly matters: the voices of our Pirates.
The group will continue to meet with Dr. Neaves and other school staff regularly throughout the year to workshop our academic, and extracurricular infrastructure, and continue their mission to make our school the best version of itself it can be.
This is what student-centered leadership looks like. Now that’s the Berea way!
Tonight we'll be having sign-ups for our Berea Community Youth Basketball League in the atrium from 5-7pm, and again on Oct. 4th from 10am-1pm. 🏀
For more information contact Bernie Harris at bcyouthbasketballleague@gmail.com!

The conversation included discussions about dual credit opportunities, after-school programming, volunteer efforts, admission pathways, and other collaborative ventures that directly benefit Berea students and families. This historic connection continues to provide unique advantages for our school community, and both institutions are committed to exploring new ways to support student growth and success.
We look forward to building on this shared vision and to the many opportunities that will come from strengthening this partnership with Berea College.
