Athletics Update
Congratulations!
Boys and Girls Track and Field KHSAA 1A State Champions!
Sports Physicals for 24-25 Important Change
As we gear up for the end of the school year/beginning of fall sports, We are changing up the way we collect sports physicals. We will no longer be accepting hard copies of the physicals. Instead, athletes/families will be submitting them via the attached Google Form. Parents/athletes will fill out the form AND upload their current sports physical. This will be a more streamlined process and eliminates an unnecessary amount of paper collected each year. Please use this Beechwood Physical Link. If you have any questions, please contact brandon.slusher@beechwood.kyschools.us
Youth Summer Sports Camps @ Beechwood
Construction Update:
The New Entrpreneur Lab video has dropped. See more information by clicking on the link below.
When Beechwood opens its doors to the new auditorium, our performing arts students will be able to showcase their talents in front of more than 500 people at a time. As part of the Learning Reimagined capital campaign, you can name seats within the auditorium! Whether you want to honor current Beechwood students, recognize alumni, or display your family's names, this is your chance!
Seats are categorized into $300, $400, and $500 levels and can be purchased through this link: https://our.show/beechwood/seatnaming
We will follow up to ensure we have the correct name(s).
If you have any questions, please contact Stephanie Layton at stephanie.layton@beechwood.kyschools.us.
*Naming seats does not guarantee that you have those seats reserved for any upcoming performances.
Thank you for your continued support of Beechwood students!
