Buffalo High School

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the BHS Staff. We hope your break is going well and we look forward to seeing you back in 2026!!

The Purple Ribbon for the Expert Project is only awarded to the best in show for the presentation board. Only 20 were awarded this year. Congratulations Jerry brothers for two of these going to your household!

The Expert Project could not be done if it were not for the community members and alumni who make it possible. Thank you, Buffalo!

It is always fun to see what the BHS students decide to be experts on for the Expert Project, the semester final given by the English department. Students research, write a report, and give an informational presentation on their topic.

The BHS FBLA Chapter had the opportunity to get into the holiday spirit with their Santa Letters project with the kindergartners. The high school members partner with the kinders to write a letter to Santa. The high school students then write back as one of Santa’s elves. The FBLA goal is to promote positive behaviors in the return letter. From letter writing, recess together, writing back, and then the final readings, the project is loved by all!

Celebrating #CSEdWeek a week late—but the learning and excitement were right on time. Our Elevate Women in STEM students visited Meadowlark second grade classes to explore the basics of binary code. Second graders learned about bits, bytes, and binary, then crafted a binary candy cane with their initials to share with their families. A fun, hands-on way to spark curiosity and confidence in computer science at an early age.

Congratulations to these seniors in the Class of 2026 for being selected as the Rotary Students of the Month. These students were selected for modeling the Rotary's mission of 'Service Above Self.” September. Shannon and Titan. October. Joel and Brook. November. Kylie and Emily. December. Aubree and Kate. These students exemplify service above self, demonstrate honesty, high ethical standards, trustworthiness, integrity, self-discipline, responsibility and build goodwill and better friendships. Congratulations, Seniors!
