The general consensus around B.H.S. is that the dress code is terribly strict. The students’ argue that the school has no business in saying what is appropriate to wear. In a way I agree with the students, but then again I don’t like to walk down the hall and see girls wearing shorts that are extremely short. |
The students of B.H.S. seem to want to push their boundaries a little too much, and I do agree that some of them wear clothes that I would never wear to school. These people should stop dressing like they are going to a party. They need to take into consideration that other people don’t want to see them wearing practically nothing. I believe that some of the students wear clothes that are a little too skimpy to wear to school. So, what kinds of common ground can we possibly find, can the administration and the students come to a mutual agreement? Is there such thing as a middle ground on such a topic as this ever truly be met? I don’t think that the administration and the students will ever be able to see eye to eye. |
| Do you consider yourself a talented person? I don’t really think you are either, but…okay, don’t get your backup because I’m only kidding. The student body of BHS carries with it a legacy of very talented pupils. Be it writers, actors, painters, singers, or sculptors, our community constantly celebrates our artisans for their great work. We’ve had a Rushton Writing Award winner, several Knox County Art Show winners, All-State Chorus members, and a Governor’s School for the Arts attendee (in the field of Drama). This December, the tradition will continue when we welcome to our campus several celebrated Kentucky artists who are set to conduct a day-long workshop for students interested in exploring and bettering their hidden, and some not so hidden, talents.
The guests we are expecting are representatives from the Kentucky Governor’s School for the Arts. This program is a three-week concentrated summer experience for young artists to diligently study their genre of art. The workshops, as part of the program, offer Kentucky students grades nine through twelve the chance to see what is in store for them should they attend the summer event. |
The workshops begin at 8:00 a.m. and last through 4:00 p.m. Lunch, usually pizza, is sure to be provided. A specific date has yet to be announced, but will be made known within the next few weeks. As of right now, we have confirmed the schedule of two workshops: one for creative writers and the other for vocal performers. Still the works are the possible additions of Drama, Musical Theater, Dance, and Visual Arts. If you are at all interested in attending any of these, or would just like answers to a few questions, please contact Mrs. Dixon in the Guidance Counselor’s office. Having attended previous workshops in the field of creative writing, I can personally say the experience was well worth my time. It introduced me to new writing styles and at the same time enabled me to learn more and better techniques in bringing ideas from my head and onto the paper. So, come on, what is it going to hurt to give up one of your coveted Saturday “sleepcapades”? If mind expansion and life learning are not enough reasons for you, consider the fact that your attendance to this program will be a killer on your college applications. |
