Mock Job Interviews!
Ms. Stephenson's Family & Consumer Science class recently gave students the opportunity to step out from behind their desks to practice mock job interviews and learn skills they'll carry with them for the rest of their lives.
To help prepare students for the real thing, Ms. Stephenson organized a mock-interview day, inviting local professionals to lead students through interview questions and real-world scenarios.
Students practiced presenting themselves with confidence, answering questions, and making a positive first impression while receiving valuable feedback from experienced professionals. How's that for hands-on learning? These are the kinds of life skills that will serve them well long after graduation.
The day was a huge success thanks to all our helpful interview volunteers and, most importantly, to Ms. Stephenson's efforts to rally the troops, bring our community together, and provide this opportunity for her students.
Let's hear it for Family & Consumer Sciences and learning by doing!

🌟 Senior Spotlight 🌟
This week, we're celebrating senior Ethan Harrison!
Ethan has been a Berea student for all 13 years of his education career, and in his time here, one of his favorite memories was being a TA for Mrs. Sarah Rose.

Let's all wish Ethan the best of luck in his final year at BCHS and for his future beyond graduation, we can't wait to see all the great things he accomplishes!

Our Homecoming Bonfire brought everyone together Thursday night for a cozy evening on the school's front lawn.
What a special time of year! The bonfire tradition runs deep in the history of Berea Community Schools, and we’re sure many alumni have fond memories of gathering with friends before Homecoming games for bonfires of their own.
We're absolutely thrilled that, under the supervision of Mr. Billings and the Berea Fire Department, we've been able to revive this tradition for a new generation of Berea students and make some new memories under the firelight.
Everyone had a blast spreading out on the school's front lawn to spend time with friends, watch the fire, and wind down after a busy Homecoming week. It was a night to remember, and a perfect way to cap off the summer season as we welcome those cooler fall evenings.
Shoutout to student-photographer Dallas Connor for helping us capture the event!
Thanks to everyone who came out and made the night so memorable. We’re already looking forward to gathering around the fire again next year!

Our Pirates are gearing up for a Homecoming Parade to remember tomorrow!
Leading up to the big parade, the after-school student parking lot has been home to BCHS students hard at work designing and building their class floats all week long. With this year’s Great Gatsby theme, there have been plenty of gold frills and Art Deco patterns to go around. Students have spent their evenings painting, crafting, and gluing their designs together, and it looks like we’re in for a flashy parade without a doubt!
Be sure to come watch the parade roll through town at 6:00 PM tomorrow!
A huge thank-you to all of our class sponsors and community members who have volunteered their trailers and helped watch over our students throughout the week.
Who do you think will come out with the most eye-catching float by tomorrow’s parade?
