We are really excited about this school year. A
new school year presents opportunities for various beginnings –
new classes, new faces, new courses, and often new materials.
Summer and vacation can be great refreshers of enthusiasm and
interests. As we approach the opening day of a new school year,
we are eager to promote education and excellence.
We are proud of what was achieved last year in
the classrooms, on the playing fields and stage, but our achievements
are not due to complacency and satisfaction with the status quo.
Our program is what it is because a staff of dedicated, aspiring men
and women have a common goal - to do what is best for students - and
are always looking for ways to achieve that goal.
This year, as in the past, we will concentrate
on the processes that spur continuing advancement: evaluating what we
have, determining what we can do to improve, and identifying what we
need to make those improvements.
We are pleased to have you as partners this
educational year. As the year progresses and as you become more
informed, we encourage you to call the school to talk with those who
might be of assistance. If your question deals with in-class
events, please ask to speak with the teacher. If it deals with
the overall program, curriculum, or activities, please contact the main
office or guidance directly.
You will also want to look at the Student Handbook and
Student Conduct Code that will be given to each student the first week
of school. It does a good job of explaining a typical year at our
school. By reading it, you will have a better idea of what to
expect.
We look forward to working with you!

Welcome
Bruton High School plans for a
successful school year for each student. We believe what students gain
from their high school experience is determined by their efforts and
their willingness to become an active member of the school, taking part
in school activities, and contributing to the many programs and events
that make up Bruton High School.
The Bruton
staff strives to help each student develop the skills and knowledge
required of productive members of society through:
Emphasizing studies
in language, mathematics, science, social studies, the fine arts,
physical education and vocational education.
Providing a focus
on student achievement through appropriate classroom instruction.
Promoting positive
concepts of oneself and others.
Encouraging a
respect for the democratic process, including the worth of each
individual and the rights of the group.
Supporting student
involvement in school programs and activities.
Students, parents, and teachers
share in the responsibility of achieving these goals. Students with the
attitude that the 'future is now, sieze the opportunity' have a
much better chance of success. Our school welcomes you and urges you to
foster the spirit that has made Bruton outstanding.
