Going to this school and now being in my senior year I have definitely seen a lot. I think the time I have been in this school we've had several principals each stepping in and making the school atmosphere better each time. The kids are super kind and the teachers are so supportive pausing all the kids to really thrive in everything. They really try to get everyone involved in at least one activity which is why they found sponsors so kids can play sports and not have to worry about the money it will cost. I just overall loved being here and can't wait to graduate at this school.

The teachers at BMHS are very nice. The culture is very diverse because of the location, but the teaching is very good.

Notable 5 star staff would be Mr. Roger Wallock, Mr. David Marz, Ms. Sheila M...
