Boats, Rock River and BMHS


Two boats, too fast

That's Beloit Memorial High School in the background. I really wonder if our community (and students!) realize what an awesome location and facility they have there?

I defy anyone to go to Janesville or Madison or Clinton or Rockford or Rockton, and find one school - new or old - even 1/2 as beautiful as BMHS.

Why aren't students from around the area beating paths to the door trying to get in via Wisconsin's School Choice program? Does our district even attempt to market or use BMHS's proximity to the river and parks for anything except complaining about traffic? Does our school district even have a rowing team, or canoe or kayaking club?



Comments:
Well, well, well... Gary tells me that BMHS indeed does come out in the positive on school choice! BMHS nets more students coming to it from neighboring districts than local students leaving for those other districts.
