On November 30, students and faculty gathered in t

On November 30, students and faculty gathered in the chorus room to surprise BHS security guard Troy Austin with gift donations. The toys collected through Toys 4 Troy will be donated to the Salvation Army, before being sent to families who are unable to afford gifts this holiday season.

“I was really surprised,” Austin said. “I didn’t know what was going to happen, but I was definitely suspicious.”

The idea was proposed in a teacher meeting as a way to give back to Austin who, as Principal Lauren McBride says, “gives so much to the community.” McBride also shared her gratitude for BHS’s commitment to helping others.

“This was truly a community effort. Our faculty and our lead teachers were helping to organize it with the BHS Student Government and BHS Heroes Club,” McBride said. “There were lots of student groups that were in on helping make today happen and I am so thankful for everyone and their contribution today.”

BHS has students that come from 49 different count

BHS has students that come from 49 different countries. For many of them, soccer is more than just a sport.

“It's like you're representing that whole country,” Innocent Ndikuriyo ‘23 said. “There's a lot at stake. And because of that everyone just gets so passionate.”

Soccer is the largest sport in the world, and the World Cup is among the most prestigious competitions. As a result, countries are extremely invested in the tournament, creating energy which many feel is unmatched by other sporting events.

“There's nothing like the Olympics and World Cup that bring every country together,” Daniel Gavin, German teacher, said. “But honestly, even more than the Olympics, soccer is just one sport that the whole world- literally the entire world- focuses on during this time.”

Seniors parade through the hallways to the beat of the band’s drums, dressed as BHS Superfans, superheroes, turkeys and more. Students rush out of their second block classes to cheer on BHS’ second annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

“I think it's super great that BHS has a tradition now at Macy’s,” Myriam Huener ‘24 said. “The parade is a great way for us to really embrace our Macy’s identity and create community around it.”

The surprise parade was an exciting break from classes and was a great send off to November break.

“I was hyped up. I heard it down the hallway. I was like, ‘what's happening?’ I went out, and it's a parade. It was fire. I was excited,” Khalil Philie ‘25 said.

Girls Cross Country competed in the New England Cross Country Championships last week. Only the top six teams in Vermont get a chance to race against over 75 schools from Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire and Connecticut.

“It’s hard to get in,” coach Kathryn Buchan said. “It was a big deal that we even made it.”

Have you ever wondered how music was written? Or even wanted to write it yourself? Jeremiah Stewart ‘23, Tiko Bedrosian ‘23 and Robbie Safran ‘23 took their interest in musical composition to the next level by submitting their original pieces to the MasterClef competition for a chance to be performed by the Vermont Symphony Orchestra. All three were chosen as state finalists for the competition with Stewart winning honorable mention.

Stewart is a member of the BHS orchestra and enjoys composing music as a hobby. The competition has given him a chance to test his skills and he has found a lot of support from his parents in creating his piece.

“My dad works in classical radio, and he's also a composer himself. And my mom is a piano accompanist,” Stewart said. “They were excited, and I was able to get some criticism from my dad.”

Have you ever given up on trying to fall asleep and ended up reflecting on the key moments of your life? Taylor Swift's 10th studio album, “Midnights”, is framed around these sleepless nights, and with 13 tracks she gives us a lens into the insomnia-fueled spirals she’s had throughout her life. Breaking a handful of records, like becoming the most streamed album in a single day on Spotify and selling the most albums in a week for any album ever, this anticipated album essentially broke the internet-- and for good reason.

On November 8 Burlington voters approved the $165

On November 8 Burlington voters approved the $165 million bond for BHS and BTC demolition and re-construction to be finished in 2025. The bond passed with 75.8% in favor of the new school.

Students and staff are enthusiastic about the news. Zoe Sliter ‘26 is among the first class that will attend the new high school.

“I feel like it will be [a better experience] for me at the new school,” Sliter said. “I’ve seen all the photos and it looks so cool.”

Habiba Ibrahim ‘23 went to the polls for the first time and cast her own vote to pass the bond.

Everyday, we get up, get ready, and pick an outfit

Everyday, we get up, get ready, and pick an outfit. For some this is a quick and mindless step, for others an important ritual. Our clothes can determine our attitude, the way we walk and talk, and how we feel about ourselves. What do the teachers of BHS have to say about fashion, and how does teaching impact their day to day style?

“I try to balance who I am outside of the classroom with maintaining a sense of professionalism inside the classroom.” Jill Kelley, BHS English teacher said. “It's not really the place where I want to take big risks in my fashion.”

As first block starts, the band plays scales and warms up their fingers. I recognize the song. It’s the theme from “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”. The music crescendos… just as my teacher finishes the presentation on the immune system. You see, I’m in my science class on the other side of a thin wall that separates us from the band room.

Matthew Burbo and Rida Kori won the Boys Varsity S

Matthew Burbo and Rida Kori won the Boys Varsity Soccer state championship for BHS in 2016. Earlier this year they walked back onto the field- this time as coaches.

“I love soccer, and the opportunity presented itself, so I decided to come back and coach,” new BHS JVA boys soccer coach Kori said.

Kori continued his education at Castleton University and Central Connecticut State University where he played on the men’s soccer team and graduated with the class of 2022.

A friend of mine interrogated me on the ethics of cooking lobster. She asked, “is cooking lobster ethical?” She was so passionate about this question and kept saying things like “they can feel pain,” “lobstering negatively affects the environment,” etc. I remember thinking: “What a weird question. I’ve eaten lobster before, but I’ve never thought about the process of cooking it.” For a whole week, I kept thinking about this question.

I began asking everyone I know if they thought lobsters are friends, foes, or food?

After much anticipation, the Netflix original film

After much anticipation, the Netflix original film “Do Revenge” came out in September. Advertised as a dark humored satire filled with raunch, raging and of course, revenge, I was expecting something along the lines of 1989 cult classic “Heathers.” In my opinion, this movie wishes it was as iconic as its inspiration.

BHS implemented a new program this year called “

BHS implemented a new program this year called “iSight” which collects data on incidents involving bullying, harassment and hazing. Tracking such issues is a requirement for the school due to the 2019 settlement between BSD and the Department of Justice.

iSight is an online system similar to PowerSchool where teachers and administrators can report severe cases of student misbehavior.

Valerie Lodish works in the IT department at Hunt Middle School and is the current project manager for the newly implemented iSight program. Lodish is working with iSight engineers and the BSD data team to configure the program’s software.
