Tap into TAPPS
Last week several staff members from coaches to administration headed to Waco, TX for the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) Conference. TAPPS is an organization that serves BCS and schools like us by providing an organized academic and sports alignment for competitions such as Seasonal Sports, Math, Calculator Use, Science, One Act Play, Prose, Poetry, Speech, Spelling, Art, Photography, Short Film, and so many more. The annual conference is to educate coaches, teachers, and staff on the opportunities for competition and familiarize them with the rules for each category.
TAPPS also uses this opportunity to hand out individual awards and school awards that were achieved throughout the year. Coach Ricky Austin won Male Coach of the year for this past school year, and Elijah Burris won Athlete of the year as well. Not only did we have coaches and students highlighted, but out of the 77 schools that are in our 1A division, BCS placed in 6th place overall! We are so excited about how close we are to winning the “Henderson” Award which goes to the top school in each category from 1A to 6A. To receive this award, our school must excel not just in sports, but in the academics competitions as well. The more students that we have participate in the academic categories, the more chances our school has to win.
Laura Sandler, our Fine Arts Director is very excited about the chances of taking home the Henderson award soon. There are so many categories that are still available for our students to participate in and it’s just a matter of time before we’re able to fill those slots and gather more points pushing us further up the line to the top space.
If your child is interested in participating in the TAPPS Academic competitions, please contact Laura Sandler at lsandler@1bcs.org or the secondary office.

Senior Walk and Other Goings On at BCS

Senior Walk and Other Goings On at BCSArt in Nature
Our High School Art students had the opportunity to be in nature on a field trip to the local Wildlife Preserve with Sherry Evans. By taking in their natural surroundings, artists can interact with nature using their senses to help them create abstract or realistic art. Not only were our students able to have fun, relax, and take in their surroundings, they were also able to be inspired by the beauty that our natural world has to offer.
Teacher Appreciation Week
BCS and our parents pampered our teachers and staff for an entire week for teacher appreciation! There was lunch, breakfast tacos, coffee, churros, massages, gifts, and SO MUCH MORE!!! Thank you to our teachers for doing such an amazing job with our students, and thank you to our school and parents for taking the time to donate items that were used to treat our staff!!
Track and Field
Track and Field students that made State, were sent off in style last week! Some of our younger kids and cheerleaders even made signs! Way to go Track and Field! Boys won the Championship for Division 1 for the second year in a row and girls came in runner up! Go Eagles!!
Pledge at Angleton National Day of Prayer Event
Caleb Seal was asked to do the Pledge at Angleton National Day of Prayer Event. A local committee includes churches and officials in the nearby areas to meet in Angleton and have an observance for this special day. Way to go Caleb Seal!
Fostee Awards
Every year Mrs. Foster takes a “Field Trip” with her students – but they don’t leave the campus. This year the assembly room was decorated with Space themed items and all of her English students dressed up for a fun afternoon of “Fostee Awards”. Every student won something! It was a fun afternoon had by all, and it was such a joy seeing the students’ smiling faces!
Senior Walk
Each year, our Seniors line up in the back hallway dressed in their cap and gowns and make their way to the front of the school, through the parking lot, and into the Willow Church Chapel. Most of the time this includes their “Senior Song” and the entire school lines up in the hallway and cheers them along. It’s a memory that will last a lifetime. This year was no different, the students that will soon turn to Alumni made their way to Willow Church and enjoyed a memory filled chapel of music and speakers. Congratulations to our Class of 2023!!!

What Is Going on at BCS – May

What Is Going on at BCS – MayBella Notte – Junior and Senior Prom
The end of the school year is drawing near and for some of our students it brings on the excitement of a few traditions that they’ve come to expect in April and May. As they’ve seen from the years prior to them, the Jr. and Sr. classes enjoy prom where they get to dress up in their best and spend an evening feeling glamorous and dancing the night away. This year’s Prom was held at The Springs Event Center in Angleton, and as the last big event prior to graduation, it was a night to remember! The theme this year was Bella Notte (Beautiful Night) and Seth Henderson and Faith Simmons were crowned BCS King and Queen. Congratulations!
8th Grade Lock-In
Another tradition that our students look forward to each year is the class Lock-in. This is a GALA Auction item that Amanda Mize with Edward Jones and The Miska Family with TJ’s Lube purchased for their 8th graders. Friday evening, parents dropped off their 8th grade students for a night of fun as the kiddos were locked in the secondary building for the night. Thank you to the volunteers who helped make this year’s lock-in a huge success! The students enjoyed a space themed escape room, Alien Attack Game, Food and drink (especially Dr. Pepper), Minute to Win it Games, Scavenger Hunt, and over 6 hours of 9 square!! We hope they made memories and enjoyed the festivities of the night!
Children’s Museum Field Trip
Our First grade students along with Mrs. Cravey and Mrs. Ramos attended the Houston Children’s Museum recently for a field trip. At BCS, we believe that field trips help to inspire creativity and provide hands-on learning experiences that help aid in the instruction of the classroom curriculum. Plus, let’s be honest, field trips are just FUN!! First grade had a blast playing and learning at the Children’s Museum Exhibits!
Senior Variety Show
The Senior Variety show is a long standing tradition for BCS. Each year, the Seniors get together and put on skits for some good old fashioned entertainment as they share their talents. This year’s Variety Show was themed in Luau and the students really put on a show!
Birds of Prey Show
BCS had the privilege of watching the Birds of Prey show, sponsored by TJ’s Lube. There were 5 different birds including a vulture, owl, and hawk on display. The birds did tricks for treats and the speaker educated our students about each species of bird and their specific traits. Thank you TJ’s Lube for sharing this special treat with our students!
Annual Egg Drop
Mrs. Biesman’s egg drop project is a tradition here on the BCS campus each Spring. Students from her science class build a device that will hold an egg and drop it from the second story balcony in the hopes that their apparatus will prevent the egg from breaking. Several other BCS classes join in and watch as they all anticipate which device will protect their egg. This year’s winners are as follows:
1st Place: Christy Essy and Hannay Kimbrough
2nd Place: Judah Newby, Tyson Rhone, and Brooklynn Sheffield
3rd Place: Faith Simmons
4th Place: Jacob Erdelt
Congratulations to the winners!
