Two members of the Singing Braves are headed to the Kansas Music Educators Association In-Service Workshop in February! Adie Timmons (Soprano 1) and Layla Hubbel (Alto 2), both sophomore singers in Fiero, were selected to participate in the KMEA All-State Honor Choirs! This is a major honor for our school! After months of preparation-choral repertoire, sight reading exercises, independent rehearsals, and college learning days - they came ready on audition day! This process takes grit, determination, and heart - way to go, Braves!

Families of BSHS Seniors,

We want to inform you of an important update regarding the 2026 Bonner Springs High School Commencement ceremony. Due to scheduling conflicts associated with the upcoming World Cup events in Kansas City, and because our district traditionally holds graduation at Children’s Mercy Park (Sporting KC Stadium), we must adjust the ceremony date for 2026 to accommodate the stadium schedule.

The 2026 graduation ceremony will still be held at Children’s Mercy Park, but will now take place at 7:00 PM on Tuesday, May 12, 2026.

We recognize that graduation is a significant milestone, and we appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we work to ensure a smooth and memorable event for our seniors and their families.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the high school office.

Thank you for your support!

🎓 Bonner Springs High School is celebrating some incredible scholarship opportunities for students! VU Scholarships is a program designed to match high school students with provisional scholarship offers from partner colleges and universities before they even apply—similar to early athletic scholarship offers, but for academic achievement. Students still complete each school’s application and admission process, but this early insight helps them see their potential and plan their futures with confidence. Thanks to a partnership between VU Scholarships, BSHS, and the generous support of the Bonner Springs/Edwardsville Education Foundation, our Juniors and Seniors were able to participate in this impactful opportunity and were collectively offered an incredible $342,832,658 in potential scholarships! 🎉 We are so proud of our students for their hard work and excited for the doors this will open for their futures. Keep striving, Braves—great things are ahead!
