Dear BBHS Families and Community:

Welcome to Broken Bow High School.  At Broken Bow we have high expectations in the classroom and around the campus. BBHS is focused on providing a superior and safe learning environment for all students through various curricular and extracurricular opportunities.  As we begin classes; we want to encourage students to get involved in extracurricular activities. Our focus as educators will continue to be on preparing students for college and careers.  Our teachers provide rigorous and  relevant content while building strong relationships with the students and families. We have an amazing staff and are grateful for the commitment, courage, and care that they display.

We begin scholarship planning as soon as students enter the ninth grade.  Students are encouraged to begin their list of activities, honors and awards, and community service with their counselors within the first month of school.  ACT classes and workshops are offered throughout the year to assist students in raising their test scores.  Students are also encouraged by counselors and teachers to complete a rigorous curriculum.  At the beginning of their senior year, students are encouraged to enter all information into a computer program for easy access.  During senior year, they meet with the counselor monthly for scholarship deadline and paperwork updates.  Bulletins are passed out through the English classes.  There is a counselor's web page attached to the school web page with scholarship updates.   Students are called into the office if the counselor notices that a student qualifies for a scholarship but hasn't completed the application.  At the end of the senior year, an awards assembly is held to encourage younger students to begin their scholarship search and reward those senior students for their effort.  The local newspaper also publishes the scholarship winners. 

Broken Bow High School is dedicated to school improvement aligned to the Oklahoma Academic Standards to help each student reach his/her highest potential.
