It’s a day to celebrate inclusion, advocate for equal opportunities, and highlight the abilities and contributions of people with Down syndrome around the world. Did you know: • Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal condition • It occurs in about 1 in every 700 births in the United States • People with Down syndrome can lead fulfilling lives—attending school, working, building relationships, and contributing meaningfully to their communities We are proud of our students for promoting kindness, understanding, and inclusion. 💙💛 #WorldDownSyndromeDay #InclusionMatters #BCHS

The 4th Brigade Best of the Best Raider Competition was held at Fort Bragg, NC, on March 14, 2026. The Female Team defeated teams from North Carolina, Maryland, and South Carolina and was named the 4th Brigade Best of the Best Raider Champions. The Male Team placed 3rd overall out of 10 Teams, from Maryland, South Carolina, Washington, D.C., and North Carolina.


This meet was a Raiders Nationals Qualifier, and BCHS JROTC qualified two teams for the Raider Nationals, to be held in October at Fort Knox, KY. Below are links to videos of the two teams competing in the rope bridge portion of the competition. Our teams placed first in this event, which is extremely difficult at this level.
