One more timing reminder for this afternoon...Please plan to join us at 5pm in Moore Gym at BRHS for our Wall

Just a quick reminder that BRHS Homecoming Week kicks off tomorrow at 5:00 p.m. with a very special celebration. We'll be honoring our newest members of the Wall of Fame, as well as recognizing the members of this year's Homecoming court. The event will culminate with the announcement of our king and queen. It should be a fun, unique way to celebrate our past and present all at once.
Everything will take place in Moore Gym at BRHS. Again, it all starts at 5:00. Hope to see you there!
