Principal’s Message
News - March 7, 2021
Good Sunday evening Tiger Nation!!! I sure hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend and all were able to stay
safe and healthy! The final week of the third grading period has arrived and spring is right around the corner. It is
hard to believe that we only have ten school weeks remaining this school year. Please enjoy this week’s Principal’s
Message as it is packed with lots of information. I hope you have an awesome week and Go Tigers!!!
BCHS will start having students attending in-person all four days Monday, March 8th. So, all in-person students will
attend in-person Monday through Thursday each week and have school remotely on Fridays for the remainder off
the school year. All remote-only students will still attend remotely five days a week for the remainder of the school
year.
We are very excited about getting all of our in-person students in the building at once. We have worked very hard
over the last couple of weeks to make sure we are ready for all of our students. We will have desks spread out in
classes to ensure we are maximizing social distancing to the best of our ability and we will continue to eat lunch in
desks. It will be imperative that students continue to wear their masks and social distance the entire time they are at
school. With the weather getting warmer, many teachers will start offering “mask breaks” by taking their classes for
walks outside to get a little break.
The important thing to keep in mind as we move to in-person four days a week is students do not need to attend if
they do not feel well. To ensure we are protecting each other, we must stay home if we have any COVID-19
symptoms or if we do not feel well in general. We also ask that students stay home if anyone from the household is
awaiting results from a COVID test. We definitely appreciate you helping us with this small favor!
Week of March 8-12
Again, in-person students will be attending school in-person Monday through Thursday and working remotely on
Friday’s using their Google Classroom. Remote students will continue utilizing their Google Classrooms and
working remotely Monday through Friday each week.
End of the Third Grading Period
The end of the third grading period is Friday, March 12th. We will send report cards home via mail on Monday,
March 15th. Please look over your child's grades and contact us if you have any questions or concerns. I would like
to encourage all parents and guardians to sign up for Parent Portal through Infinite Campus. This tool allows you to
track your child’s grades, attendance, and behavior. Click on the link below to sign up for this service.

After-School Tutoring
BCHS has after-school tutoring available Monday through Thursday from 3:00 to 4:00 in the BCHS library. This
service is available to all students even if you are not in-person on that certain day. This service is also available to
you if you are 100% remote. We do offer a shuttle run at 4:20 and 5:20 each afternoon to deliver students to their
hometowns to save on trips into Harned. The activity buses will arrive at our elementary schools around 4:45 and
5:45.Breckinridge County High School

Athletics
The final week of the regular season is here and both our Lady Tigers and Fighting Tigers will have a light week as
they prepare for the 11th District Tournament the following week at Hancock County High School. The Lady Tigers
will play host to Daviess County on Tuesday, March 9th at 5:30 and 7:00. The Fighting Tigers are off this week.
The Fighting Tigers split their games last week as they defeated Hart County 95-88 in Tiger Arena Monday night in
a very exciting ball game. The Fighting Tigers then fell to Grayson County on Thursday night.
The Lady Tigers had a great week as well as they went 2-1 for the week and improved to 18-3 on the season. The
Lady Tigers defeated a very nice Ohio County team by 19 on Tuesday before falling to top twenty ranked Henderson
County on the road Friday night. The Lady Tigers rebounded from that loss nicely as they defeated John Hardin on
the road Saturday night.
Again, the Lady Tigers will play Daviess County Tuesday night at Tiger Arena for the final regular season game of
the 2020-2021 season.

Student Section at Basketball Games
BCHS is more than excited to announce that we are going to allow a student section at the remaining home games
for the 2020-2021 basketball season. We will be able to allow 50 students in each contest. Current BCHS seniors
will have priority on tickets. If there are any remaining tickets then juniors will be eligible to purchase. All tickets
are $5.00 and will be paid for at the door.
If you would like to attend a game, click on the game below and fill out the form. Please understand that all students
in attendance will be required to wear a mask the whole time, social distance by standing on an assigned sticker, and
wreak havoc on or opponents in a Champion manner!
Again, we only have 50 student tickets. If we have more than 50 students sign up, we will do a random draw with
seniors receiving priority. You will be notified via your student email if you are admitted to the game. We look
forward to seeing you in Tiger Arena! Go Tigers!!!

BCHS Class of 2021 Graduation
Friday, May 28
5:30 - Session 1
7:30 - Session 2
Breckinridge County High School will have our 2021 Commencement exercises on Friday, May 28, 2021 at 5:30
P.M. and at 7:30 P.M. We have decided on the split session graduation to provide all our graduates the opportunity to
walk across the stage and have family members present.
Number of Graduates
Total Students Participating: 160 (approximately)
● Total Students 5:30 Ceremony: 80 graduates
● Total Students 7:30 Ceremony 80 graduates
Crowd Capacity
● Crowd Capacity at 15% would allow us to have 480 guests per session. This would allow each graduate 6
tickets for guests to attend their graduation.
● Students will not count toward the 15% just like our athletic events.
● Faculty will not count toward the 15% and will be seated on the gym floor six feet apart.
*** We hope the percentage will be increased by May and in communication with the community we will address
the capacity limitations.
By having two ceremonies, we are able to provide each graduate with a larger number of tickets to invite family and
friends. We will also use the time in between sessions to sanitize the gymnasium to provide all graduates and guest
with a safe environment. Masks will be required to be worn by all individuals in the building and social distancing
will be monitored.
Masks and Social Distancing
● Graduates will be seated on the gym floor six feet apart and will be required to wear a mask.
● Faculty will be seated on the gym floor, spaced six feet apart, and required to wear a mask.
● Distinguished Guests (Stage Seats) will be placed in areas around the stage. We will only use the stage to
hand out diplomas.
● Guests will be required to be socially distanced and seated six feet apart from other families.
We are excited about these plans and the opportunity to have our students “walk” across a stage. These plans do have
the potential to change from now until May 28th. We hope our number of COVID-19 cases continue to decline so
we can allow more guests to attend.
Please stay tuned.
Project Graduation
As of today, we do not have plans to have a project graduation. Please know Mrs. Shrewsberry is in constant contact
with school administration discussing options.Breckinridge County High School

ACT at BCHS
Good luck to all of our juniors on Tuesday of this week as they will be taking the state mandated ACT test. We look
forward to watching this group perform well on this exam!
2021 BCHS Prom
Saturday, April 17, 2021
BCHS is always striving to make memories for our students. After the devastating end to last year and that group of
seniors missing out on many important memories, we are committed to doing everything in our power to make
memories!!! Therefore, we will be having our 2021 BCHS Prom.
The 2021 BCHS Prom will have a little different look in order for us to safely and effectively offer this incredible
opportunity.
● Seniors ONLY
○ Seniors can invite underclassmen as their dates.
● 40 Students at a Time
○ We will have five sessions for students to attend.
■ 5:00-6:00
■ 6:00-7:00
■ 7:00-8:00
■ 8:00-9:00
■ 9:00-10:00
● Students attending will have to quarantine from school for two weeks (Can return on May 3)
○ However, students can return April 26 with a negative test after 7 days.
○ This includes our athletes quarantining from their sport.
I realize this is a lot. There is probably a lot of excitement about this news and then a lot of frustration and/or
aggravation about what we are doing. We get it. Please understand this is a different time! We are trying our best to
provide these special memories while making sure we keep all of our students and all of our staff safe and healthy.

Healthy Habits
Our county Incident Rate Number is dropping! We must keep up the great work! It is important for each of us to do
our part to keep our community safe, healthy, and ultimately, in school. We must continue to wash our hands
frequently and thoroughly. We must continue to wear our masks and distance ourselves from others. We must also
not get around others when we do not feel well. So, if you are a student and you are not feeling well, please stay
home and work remotely. It is not worth the chance of getting others sick.
Graduation Orders
Please click on the link below if you are needing to order your cap and gown or any graduation items.
Herff Jones - Graduation Information
I know that was a lot of information. There is a link to the Principal’s Message on our website that you have access
to at all times if you need a quick reference. I hope everyone has a wonderful week. Go Tigers and Be A Champion!
