Challenge Day: Once again this year on November 21st, BHS will be offering our students to attend Challenge Day.

Please make sure that your student has a physical on file with the athletic department so that they can participate. These physicals must be updated yearly. ASVAB Career Exploration Program: One of the absolute best tools for career exploration is the ASVAB Career Exploration Program (CEP). The ASVAB CEP consists of two parts, the ASVAB test which focuses on career strengths and part two which is the career exploration workshop, in which students will learn about their career interests, then explore jobs which match their skills and interests. The ASVAB is also used as the military entrance test, but scores will not be automatically shared with any recruiters. Students are encouraged to sign up for the ASVAB CEP whether they are interested in the military or not. Students can register in the counseling office or by emailing jwilliamson@brandon.k12.mi.us.
