BHS Parents, a letter was sent out about the Academic Recognition Banquet that had the incorrect date. The date for the banquet is this Sunday at 12:45pm at Bolivar High School. Because of the incorrect date, an RSVP to the event is not required. The banquet is to recognize students from the 2022 Spring semester who excelled in the classroom and earned a GPA of 3.67 or higher. #GoLiberators #LiberatorsLead

Don't forget about our BHS football home opener this SATURDAY night at 7:00pm at Plaster Stadium! We are also going to Tackle Hunger that night by collecting non-perishable food items to donate to COM in honor of Cash Cable. Cash tragically lost his life in a drowning accident during his freshman year. He was an outstanding high school football player, man-child if you will, but a gentle giant. He was a very kind young man that left an impression on many! Cash would be in his junior year this season and is greatly missed! Help us honor him and his family by considering donating a few non-perishable food items at the game. #GoLiberators #LiberatorStrong

Please join us at a ribbon cutting ceremony for our new tennis courts on Tuesday, September 20th at 3:45pm. Our Lady Liberator tennis team will take the court immediately following the ceremony for a match against Kickapoo! #GoLiberators #LiberatorStrong

Safety and security is our number one priority at Bolivar Schools. One of our big summer projects is upgrading our school security. During the June school board meeting, funding was approved to upgrade our video surveillance system and the door access system. We are also replacing some of our older exterior doors with stronger doors, hinges, and door frames. We have two full-time school resource officers. One is employed through the Bolivar Police Department, and one is employed by Bolivar Schools. We are also seeking more opportunities to partner with the Polk County Sheriff's Office and the Bolivar Police Department. We appreciate their support in keeping our school buildings safe. If you have any questions about the safety and security of our school buildings, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

REMINDER: Today is the last day of Summer School! #GoLiberators

We have a new billboard! It is located at our HOOPS building next to Bill Grant Ford. The south side of the billboard welcomes visitors to Bolivar by promoting our students, staff, and community! The other side of the billboard recognizes some of our Lifelong Liberators, staff members who graduated from Bolivar Schools and have since returned to serve the next generation of learners!
