Boys And Girls High School Home

Welcome to the Historic Boys and Girls High School website! Home of the Kangaroos!

The mission of Boys and Girls High School is to prepare our students to achieve their full potential, make positive choices, and have a plan for life after high school. This will be accomplished by creating an environment that will successfully teach our students to think critically and conscientiously about themselves, their community, and their global village.

Principal's Message

We believe students achieve success and embrace learning when they feel safe and are supported by competent and caring adults.
