What a truly beautiful evening celebrating our Baccalaureate Mass with the Class of 2026 and their wonderful families at Bethlehem High School. We were incredibly honored to celebrate this special Mass with the Most Reverend Archbishop Shelton Fabre.
The evening was filled with faith, gratitude, and celebration as we reflected on the journey of this outstanding senior class. The music by our choir, led by Mrs. Brigid Melega, was absolutely beautiful, Derek McKinney delivered an amazing Class President speech, and Archbishop Fabre’s homily was incredibly meaningful and inspiring for our graduates and families.

Baccalaureate Mass is truly one of the most special traditions and senior events we share together as a school community. Congratulations again to the Class of 2026! 💙💛

Mrs. Brooks’ AP Literature classes recently held their annual Literary Bake Off, and the students did an amazing job! Students were challenged to create cakes inspired by books they read throughout the year, combining creativity, literary analysis, and baking skills into one fun project. From detailed decorations to thoughtful representations of themes and characters, each cake showcased the students’ hard work and imagination. It was such a fun and engaging way to celebrate literature and all that the students have learned this year. Great job to everyone involved!
