Support innovation at BHS

It's not too late to contribute to our Winter Appeal! Please donate today to make extraordinary courses, programs, and activities like these possible.

Social Emotional Learning Tutorial (SEL-T): A representative from the Kevin Love Foundation, which created some of the curricula that inspired SEL-T, came to watch BHS teachers and students in action.

Rethinking Restaurant: Student chefs at Tappan Green recently donated 50 family-style meals, as part of a student-led project. Another student is hosting a "Fuel the Athlete" speaker series.

Climate Science & Social Change: Students recently presented their Re-Green the Streets Design Competition projects, which identified best practices for re-greening cities and mitigating the urban heat island effect. 

And that's not all...!

Engineering Innovation & Design: Work from last year's Adaptive Technology project was showcased at the recent Day of Disability Education. 

Queer Student Program (QSP): This month's OUTstanding Speaker Series featured Andre Isaacs, a Chemistry professor from the College of the Holy Cross. Students from QSP, AP Chemistry, and the African American and Latino Scholars Program attended.

Global Leadership: In collaboration with the Food Justice Club and Tappan Green, students are planning for the upcoming TAP (Together Against Plastic) challenge to educate the BHS community about single-use plastics.

Hub/Advisory: Juniors and Seniors attended guidance seminars on post-high school planning, and all students attended a school-wide webinar on student rights and representation by the BHS Student Government. Up next? Healthy habits and stress resilience. 

Don't miss this student art

To help celebrate the Fund's 25th anniversary, BHS Senior Stella Charbonneau created this series, featuring several Fund-supported courses and programs. Do they look familiar? We've showcased them as lawn signs around campus and town, and displayed them at the 25th Anniversary Celebration this fall.

Want one for your home or business? Just email us and we'll deliver it to you. Senior Katherine Dougan also created a series, which we'll share in a future email. Stay tuned!

Our mission is to catalyze innovation at Brookline High School by supporting faculty-driven curricular initiatives that will inspire our students and prepare them to thrive in a changing world.
