Welcome Back Hornets!

It is hard to believe that September is already over, as we experience fall weather and the routine of a new school year. The first few weeks have been packed with exciting events for our Big Lake community. Check out the latest news below!

Freshman First Day

The first day of the 2023-24 school year was a great success for the class of 2027. Only freshman were invited to school, and students learned all about the high school and what lies ahead!

Career Fair

Big Lake High School hosted its 6th Annual Career Fair on Sept. 21st hosting over 100 area businesses and organizations. Students were introduced to amazing opportunities in post-high school education, occupations, trades, businesses and services. Students in grades 5, 8 and 9-12 were able to spend time exploring and enjoying the fair.

Homecoming Week

Take a look below to see some of the fun outfits worn during BLHS Homecoming Week. Students were dressed creatively for Barbie the Movie Day, Jersey Day, Disney Day, Dress in a Career Day, and School Spirit Day. The week flew by with pep fests, activities, athletic events and the homecoming dance.
