Bearden High school has an exciting overall atmosphere. There are numerous clubs and events that students can partake in. In other words, there is really something for everyone. Bearden offers different levels of courses (AP, Honors, NIC, CP) as well as career technical education (CTE) classes. Personally, I love the CTE classes since they offer classes for the field I want to major in: Medical. Everyone will feel welcome and find their place at Bearden!
I have loved my time at Bearden! There are so many academic opportunities for students, including a wide range of classes and easy access to tutoring. BHS students have very diverse interests, so you're bound to find somewhere you fit in! We have tons of different clubs to join, including language clubs, student government, charitable clubs, and so much more. Coming from a varsity basketball player, my favorite thing about bearden is the school spirit. There is definitely a certain amount of pride that comes with being a bulldog! There are a few things, however, I wish were different at BHS. For example, in my three years here, we have had three different principals. While that is not anyone's fault, it has been hard to adjust to three different styles of leadership every year. Also, since we have a very large student body, you get very little assistance from guidance counselors (although the college and career center is great!). Overall, I would definitely recommend attending BHS!
I absolutely love Bearden! They have such a wide variety of classes and clubs, it makes it very easy for people to find friends. They try to make sure they have plenty of rigorous academic courses while still having fun elective courses.
