Marco Venegas - Valedictorian and National Merit Scholarship recipient, Nat Rathbone - Salutatorian and National Merit Scholarship recipient, were recognized alongside Anna Leslie - National Merit Scholarship recipient, for their academic excellence. They were joined by their counselors, Ms. Cook and Mrs. Gordon, as well as BHS administrators Mr. Henninger and Mr. Goldstone for this special moment.

Our entire school had the opportunity to head out to Lost Valley for a school-wide field trip—and it did not disappoint! Students explored, connected, and enjoyed a day of fresh air, hands-on experiences, and time together outside the classroom.
A huge thank you to Principal Catanese for organizing this incredible experience and for securing the grant that made it all possible. And thank you to our amazing staff and parent volunteers who helped make the day run so smoothly—we couldn’t have done it without you!
Opportunities like this truly make a lasting impact on our students!

Last week, the BJHS Unified Basketball team showed their Dragon pride by heading over to support the BHS Unified team at their game! 🏀🧡🖤
It was a special moment as our current 8th graders reunited with some of their former Unified teammates now playing at the high school level. The stands were full of energy, encouragement, and smiles as BJHS students cheered them on!
We love seeing our Unified community continue to grow and support one another across schools. Great job representing BJHS! #teambrunswickme #maineschoolsuperintendent #brunswickmaine #BrunswickJuniorHS

Purple is not a color in itself, it is an interpretation to the individual eye. So no one is color blind to it it's just their eyes view of it.

Check out our digital adventures:
🎬 Two Truths & AI: Students became AI detectives! 🕵️♂️ They analyzed movie posters to spot "glitches"—finding weird text, missing details, or other strange things that shouldn't be there! 🤖❌
🧊 The Ice Kingdom: We stepped into a virtual winter wonderland using Augmented Reality (AR) to explore a massive, interactive ice village! 📱🧊
🎨 Machine Learning: Using Quick Draw, we went behind the scenes to see exactly how AI learns to recognize our doodles in real-time! 🧠✏️
From digital citizenship and computer science to AR/VR and the arts, our students are proving they are officially future-ready alongside thousands of their peers! 🚀🎓

This week, our GT Art seventh and eighth graders created incredible self-portrait collages using mirrors and a variety of materials. Inspired by artists like Norman Rockwell and Vincent van Gogh, students practiced sketching facial features before drawing their final portraits on canvas. They brought their work to life with paint, collage papers, oil pastels, colored pencils, and markers. Each piece is a unique reflection of the individual artist — and we couldn’t be more proud! 🎨✨
